Today we have an easy chicken recipe that was slightly adapted for Oven Roasted Chicken. As soon as those outdoor temperatures fall I switch the oven dial to on and start cooking and baking good old fashioned meals. It’s the time of year I think of oven roasting, comfort foods and baking.

Adapted Easy Recipe:

Oven Roasted Chicken

Stuff the chicken with the lemon, rosemary, garlic and onion. Salt and pepper your chicken and bake until it’s fully cooked. Approximately 1-1/2 hours. Roughly 20 minutes per pound.

  • Note These Tips:
  • If your chicken makes a lot of juice you can pull out a little of the excess and baste as needed so it doesn’t splatter all over the oven. Ya, I don’t like cleaning ovens very much.
  • If the top is getting too dark you can tent some foil over the top but, don’t wrap the foil closed (I didn’t need to tent but, sometimes you do)
  • Make sure your oven racks are plenty far apart so the top of your chicken isn’t touching an oven rack

My families favorite sides are mashed potatoes and broccoli. They seriously love mashed potatoes so much I have to double the amount! Oh, comfort food! Make your families favorite sides when the chicken is baking.
