Make a paste with the olive oil, dried and fresh herbs, salt, and pepper by mixing ingredients together in a small bowl. Squeeze lemon all over outside and inside chicken. Stuff the chicken with the lemon halves and garlic cloves. Rub the herb paste all over the skin of the chicken. For rotisserie: Truss the chicken well. Insert the rotisserie skewer through the chicken, securing the forks with the rotisserie screws so that the chicken is stabilized. Secure the rotisserie spit in the oven into the spit support and socket. Turn oven to 400˚ and turn to rotisserie setting.
