Lemon Italian Herb Roasted Chicken
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
  • 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature for cooking, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius).
2
In a separate container, blend together the various herbs and spices, including Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, mustard powder, and black pepper. Set this mixture aside for later use.
3
Carefully remove the giblets from the chicken, then rinse it thoroughly under cold water to ensure cleanliness.
4
Place the prepared chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish, making sure it's centered and even.
5
Using your hands or a spoon, sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture inside the chicken cavity. This will add flavor to the meat.
6
Next, rub the remaining spice mixture all over the outside of the chicken, making sure to cover every surface evenly.
7
Mix together lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl, then drizzle this mixture over the chicken. This will add moisture and flavor to the dish.
8
Finally, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius) and bake until the juices run clear, which should take around 1 1/2 hours. During this time, baste the chicken several times with any remaining lemon-oil mixture to keep it moist and flavorful.
