Answer 3

Here's easy. Rub the bird(s) down with olive oil while you melt some butter with garlic in the microwave. Season the inside with salt and pepper. Rub the butter all over the bird, squeeze the juice of a lemon over it all and shove the rinds inside the bird with some rosemary and sage. Bake as normal.

I love this method.
