We love roasted chicken in my home,
which is probably why I have so many chicken recipes on my blog! The
smell of this chicken roasting in the oven is enough to fall in love! Roasting
a whole chicken is pretty simple to do, as long as you have a thermometer you
can’t go wrong. The combination of rosemary and lemon is wonderful with
chicken! Serve this with roasted vegetables or baked sweet potato on
the side and use the leftover chicken bones to make a wonderful stock.

How To Make
Juicy Roasted Chicken
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175
degrees C).
Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt
and pepper. Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder. Place 3 tablespoons
margarine in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine
around the chicken’s exterior. Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in
the chicken cavity.
Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum
internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from heat, and
baste with melted margarine and drippings. Cover with aluminum foil, and allow
to rest about 30 minutes before serving.
