A whole roast chicken seasoned with Spicelopedia™ Italian Lemon Pepper seasoning, onions, and garlic offers a mouthwatering culinary experience. The chicken, perfectly roasted to achieve a golden, crispy skin, is infused with the vibrant flavors of Italian lemon pepper, creating a zesty and aromatic profile. The addition of onions and garlic not only enhances the seasoning but also imparts a deep, savory richness to the dish. As the chicken roasts, the seasonings meld together, resulting in a juicy, flavorful meat that is both tender and succulent. This roast chicken is a delightful centerpiece for any meal, promising a burst of taste in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 whole fryer chicken, about 3-4 lbs. (Prep the chicken by washing and removing any inside parts from the cavity. Dry the chicken)
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 large sweet onion cut into 2” pieces
- 1 lemon, cut into quarters
- 2 Tbsp. Spicelopedia™ Italian Lemon Pepper seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ cup chicken stock
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Season the cavity of the chicken with ½ tsp. Spicelopedia™ Italian Lemon Pepper seasoning. Stuff the cavity with 5 garlic cloves and 2 lemon quarters.
- Place the onions in a large oven safe dish/pan. Crush the remaining garlic cloves and add to the onion. Place the chicken over top of the onions, breast side up. Drizzle chicken with olive oil over both the vegetables and chicken, rubbing to coat the entire chicken.
- Sprinkle remaining Spicelopedia™ Italian Lemon Pepper seasoning to season all sides of the chicken. Add the chicken stock to the pan.
- Roast for about an hour uncovered, until the dark meat reaches 170-175 degrees and the white meat reaches 165 degrees, or until juices run clear.
