This is my own recipe- BIG hit in the family! I like to use herbs liberally, (not crazy) when I cook, so I will do my best to give you acurate directions:


WHOLE ROASTING CHICKEN 3-5 POUNDS


1/2 CUP OF EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL


1 WHOLE LEMON


salt and pepper


1 Tablespoon each of sage, thyme, and rosemary


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 375 DEGREES*


1. use 1/3 to 1/4 of your olive oil and brush it on your chicken.


2.Sprinkle Salt and Pepper to your taste


3.Sprinkle your herbs (sage, thyme and rosemary) on your whole chicken


4. Cut half of your lemon and squeeze it on top of your chicken.


5. Cut the other half of your lemon in fourths and place it into the chicken's cavity.





Place your chicken in the 375 Degree oven and let it roast uncovered for 45-an hour!


Use the rest of your olive oil to baste it on top of the chicken if it gets too dry!!!!





Remove from oven- take out the lemons from the cavity!


This goes well with potatoes!! Yummmmmmmmm!!!!!


Good luck!Does anyone know the recipe for Roast chicken?
';Roast Chicken';





Wash chicken and pat dry. If desired, rub cavity lightly with salt. Do not salt cavity if bird is to be stuffed.


Stuff chicken just before roasting - not ahead of time. Fill wishbone area with stuffing first. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly. (Do not pack - stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tie drumsticks to tail.


Heat oven. Brush chicken with melted butter or margarine. Place breast-side up on rack in open shallow roasting pan. Do not add water. Do not cover. (Times and oven temperatures vary with size of chicken.) Chicken is done when thickest parts are fork-tender and drumstick meat feels very soft when pressed between fingers.
Easy one. First stuff butter under the skin of the chicken (but not too much) then pore some water over the chicken (make sure it is on a rack and in the pan) then sprinkle some chicken seasoning over the chicken with some salt and pepper. If you like stuffing mix some chicken and lamb mince in a bowl with some chopped up onion and bacon and an egg and salt and pepper. Mix it all together and stuff into the chicken.


Cook in the oven for 1 hour on 180 degrees. Make sure there is water in the bottom of the pan and that the chicken is on a rack.
a roasting rack that keeps it out of the drippings is the most important thing. There are many marinades, rubs, etc. But they all taste better when the bird ain't soaking in it's own grease
Preheat your oven to about 325 or so. Wash and stuff your chicken if you want it stuffed. Rub it down with salt on the outside and put in a pan with about couple of inches of water. Depending on how large it is. It may take an hour or two to roast it.
