Roast Chicken

One of my favorite things to make, also one of the easiest. I learned how to make this while I was working in the service deli at Albertson's. There are so many different flavors! My favorite is Lemon Pepper. Here is what you do:

• 1 whole chicken
• Flavors to taste

First, fold the chicken wings up and back behind the chicken so the chicken lays on it's back on the wings. Then either tie the chicken legs together with some twine or make a hole in the skin of the chicken between the end of the breast and the thigh, take the opposite leg and put it throught the hole and tuck the other leg into the space between the leg and breast. This will keep the chicken in a nice neat package. Put the chicken in a baking dish and roast in an oven at 350 degrees for an hour and a half.

You can flavor you chicken with any spices you choose. Tonight I used seasoning salt, lemon juice and fresh cracked pepper. I've also used salt, pepper and garlic powder. You can also put potatoes, carrots and onions in the dish with the chicken! It's sooo stinkin' EASY!

You can use the juices from the cooked chicken to make gravy and it's delicious!
