Zest the lemon, place the zest in a small bowl and set aside. Cut the lemon into quarters and set aside.
Add the butter, dill, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the zest and mix to combine.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place on a rack breast side up in a roasting pan.

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Increase heat to 400°F and continue roasting for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
