Sweet Basil Roasted Chicken Recipe


INGREDIENTS:

  • 6-7 pound roasting chicken
  • 1 Tablespoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Remove all parts from the chicken cavity and rinse the chicken under cool water inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels and tie legs together with cooking string/twine. Place chicken in a roasting pan (you may place on a rack in the pan, but not entirely necessary).

  3. Allow to cool slightly before carving or removing meat from the bone.
