A simple, no-fail way to roast a whole chicken.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb roasting chicken
  • 2 large lemons (or 4 small lemons)
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
  • 1 pinch kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Clean chicken and pat dry. If you have the time, put the chicken in the refrigerator for a few hours to continue to let the skin dry.
  • Slice the lemons into wedges. Sprinkle the chicken all over, including the cavity, with garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and lots of freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Fill the cavity of the chicken with the lemon wedges and place a few wedges on top.
  • Roast uncovered until the internal temperature of the chicken's breast is 160F.
  • Remove the chicken and cover with aluminum foil for at least 15 minutes before carving. Allow internal temperature to raise to 165F. Serve with a fresh salad and enjoy!
