So I bought a whole chicken at my last shopping trip, determined to make a rotisserie-style chicken. The other day I looked up recipes, and this sounded the tastiest (and easiest). I got it from allrecipes.com.
Here is the recipe, and below are photos of the results! I substituted the onion powder with garlic powder, and the celery with 1/2 an onion. My chicken was also nearly twice the size, so it took 2 hours to cook.
JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN (ALLRECIPES.COM)
INGREDIENTS:
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. |
And I think I did a fairly decent job =) Now let's see how it tastes... Guess I'll let the husband be the judge of that!
