Ingredients

6 to 7 pound chicken
1 large onion or lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Remove giblet bag from cavity. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Stuff the chicken cavity with peeled onion or split lemon. Rub skin with minced garlic, salt and pepper. Roast in oven for approximately 10 minutes per pound, until juices run clear. The temperature of chicken should reach approximately 160 degrees. Let chicken sit to allow juices to reabsorb. Carve and serve.

Easy Pan Gravy:

Juice and oil of roasted chicken
1 cup canned chicken stock
Salt and pepper

Remove grease from the roasting pan using a large spoon, but leave brown bits and juices. On stove-top place pan over medium heat. Add chicken stock. Scrape up bits and bring to a simmer. Season and serve with carved chicken

MAN that was good...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't believe how simple this is for how good it tastes. I used a 1/2 of a red onion (which I had to quarter..well eighth... technically b/c it would fit in the cavity of a six lb. chicken ??) and doubled the garlic as we are huge garlic lovers. This was super simple and really really good! I have never sat there and eaten pieces right off the chicken! Very moist as well!Read more

most versatile chicken recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this was the most adaptable recipe I've ever found. You can interchange any herbs you have on hand, replace the lemon with... onion, or any substitution you may want to do. The fact that the chicken rests on top of the onions keeps them moist and juicy and the pan gravy is fantastic as is, no need to thicken.Read more
