Too many nights, I'm just so busy. This Chicken is so easy, it practically cooks itself. Now roasted chicken recipes are alot like being told a joke... Some are rushed while others take way too long. meanwhile, some lack spice or may sound good, but ultimately are very dry. I switch it up alot. However, this is what I call a " safe " meal. It's not so crazy that it'll freak the family out. It will taste good. And lastly, it should be easy enough to cook on little to no sleep!
1 whole chicken.. $2.75-8.00 ( these vary in price. I try to get them when they are less than $5.00, I freeze them, then defrost by placing them in the fridge for 2 days)
3 slices of lemon $0.20
1 tbsp olive oil*
1 tsp garlic salt*
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning*
Preheat oven to 350. Remove chicken from bag. Remove insides ( 2 kidneys, liver, neck and heart)discard. Rinse in cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel then place in a baking dish. Drizzle your olive oil on top of the chicken. Rub oil all over too coat the outside. This will allow it to brown nicely. Then sprinkle garlic salt and lemon pepper on outside of chicken. Lastly, stuff the inside of the chicken with the lemon slices. It will perfume the chicken with lemon flavor as it cooks. Pop in oven for 2 hours. Once its done, allow it to sit for 10 mts before slicing. Now feel free to roast some diced up potato's and carrots along with the chicken. Just add olive oil and seasoning to veggies as well and arrange in dish around chicken.
So 3 steps:
prepare chicken, rinse, oil/season
bake
slice and serve.
