Roasted Chicken

Roasted Chicken

Super Easy and will change the idea of dinner in your home forever!

Ingredients:

1 Roasting Chicken, 4-5 pounds

1/2 a Lemon

Salt and Pepper to Taste

1 Small Onion Quartered

Oil

Fresh Basil

Spices: Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley, Oregano, Onion, Basil, Cumin (if you like it)

Directions:

1. MAKE SURE YOUR CHICKEN IS 100% THAWED before the following steps are taken.
2. Preheat oven to 350 F
3. Check to make sure the guts and neck of the chicken are taken out of your chicken and wash your chicken in cold water. Let it drip dry and put it on the roasting pan.
4. Mix your herbs with a bit of oil and rub all over the outside and inside of the chicken.
5. Place onion, fresh basil and lemon inside the chicken cavity.
6. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper (put a little salt inside the chicken cavity too).
7. Bake for about 20 minutes per pound. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165 F
8. Can baste with oil or butter occasionally to keep the skin moist

Notes:

• If your chicken has clear juices running out when you poke it, it's done.
• If the meat on the legs and thighs of the chicken has a slight pink tone to it, it's done (the dark meat tends to hold onto the pink color for some reason).
• If your chicken is looking a little darker than you like and still has time left to be cooking make a tin foil tent over it and put it back in the oven for the remaining time.
