Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 red potatoes, cut into large cubes
1 (16 ounce) package carrots, cut diagonally into bite-size pieces
1 stalk celery, cut diagonally into bite-size pieces
1 sweet onion, sliced - divided
1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken
salt and ground black pepper to taste
garlic powder, or to taste
½ cup cubed margarine, divided
1 large lemon, sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 stalk celery, cut into 3 pieces
1 ⅔ tablespoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 385 degrees F (196 degrees C).
  • Pour olive oil into a large bowl; toss potatoes, carrots, bite-size pieces of celery, and 3/4 of the sliced onion in the oil to coat. Set remaining onion aside. Transfer oiled vegetables to a large cast iron skillet.
  • Rinse chicken and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Generously season the chicken, inside and out, with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place the remaining 1/4 of the sliced onion, 1/4 cup margarine, lemon slices, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and large pieces of celery into the cavity of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken atop the oiled vegetables; scatter remaining 1/4 cup of margarine pieces and 1 2/3 tablespoon minced garlic in small amounts around the vegetables.
  • Roast chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven until the skin is browned and crisp, the vegetables are tender, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving with vegetables.
