"A couple of simple ingredients with no-fuss prep make a roast chicken that many swear is the juiciest they've ever eaten."
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. |
