This may also be made using a larger roasting chicken however the spice mixture should be increased and the cooking time --- use fresh lemon juice only for this, and for the best flavor remember to keep basting the chicken with the pan juices frequently during cooking --- this chicken is very good!

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 whole chicken (about 3 to 3-1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (can use more)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (can use more)
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder (can omit if desired)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 lemons, juice of, large whole
1 small onion, cut into wedges
1 lemon, sliced in half (can use 2 lemons)

Steps:

In a small bowl combine the Italian seasoning with seasoned salt, black pepper, mustard powder and garlic powder.
Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil with 2 tablespoons melted butter and the juice of 2 whole lemons (you may save the lemon skins and add to the cavity of the chicken if desired or discard).
Wash the chicken thoroughly under cold water then pat dry.
Place the chicken onto a rack that is fitted into a greased baking pan.
Rub about 1 tablespoon or a little more of olive oil over the dry chicken.
Sprinkle the inside cavity of the chicken with about 1 teaspoon seasoning mix.
Place the lemon halves and onion inside the cavity (along with the lemon skins if desired).
Tie the legs together with cotton butcher's string.
Rub the outside of the chicken with the remaining spice mix (at this point you may cover the chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours).
Drizzle the olive oil/lemon juice mixture over the top of the chicken.
Bake uncovered in a preheated 350 degree F oven to about 2 hours or until cooked thoroughly, basting several times with the pan juices.

Tips:

Use a whole chicken for the best flavor. A whole chicken will have more flavor than just breasts or thighs. If you don't want to use a whole chicken, you can also use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs.
Dry the chicken thoroughly before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help enhance the flavor of the chicken.
Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the chicken. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
Let the chicken rest before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roasted Italian Herb Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful herbs, this chicken is sure to be a hit. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
