JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN

I made my first roasted chicken tonight and it was the bomb. It came out so moist and flavorful! I did make some changes though. I used half the amount of butter the recipe called for, plus I put 6 cloves of garlic and lemons slices into the cavities of the chicken and roasted for about 2 hours. I made it with black beans and brown rice.

Enjoy!

/></p> <p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p> <ul> <li class=1 (3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed

  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup margarine, divided
  • 1 stalk celery, leaves removed
  • Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
