In Grandma's House, Sunday dinner meant Roast Chicken. She'd put it in the oven and slow roast it before church and by the time we got home, dinner was ready to eat!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 ° HINT: I roast in Cast Iron in my Dutch Oven, Kettle or Chicken Fryer because it the even heat cooks so well, and because it imparts an amazing flavor to foods.
- 2. Do not cut up chicken...leave it whole! Wash inside and out of chicken, remove any remaining feathers, then pat dry with paper towel
- 3. Season chicken well with salt and seasoned pepper, inside and out. Place breast side up on trivet in Dutch oven. Sprinkle with Sprinkle liberally with Smokey Paprika.
- 4. Surround chicken with vegetables. Drizzle with melted butter. Season with salt and seasoned pepper. Do NOT add liquid! Place lid on Dutch Oven.
- 5. Just before leaving for church, place Dutch oven in oven . WHen you return, check chicken for doneness- legs will come away easily from the sockets when done and juices will be clear. Allow to stand 15 minutes in covered Dutch Oven before carving.
- 6. After sitting for 15 minutes, remove bird and veggies to platter. Return pot with juices to stovetop. (Juices will be highly concentrated) Thicken with flour or cornstarch and bring to a rolling boil. ( Gravy will not reach its full thickness until it boils. ) If too thick, thin with chicken broth.
