Roasted Lemon Herb Chicken
My family loves this roasted lemon herb chicken recipe. My husband even requests it.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 3 pound whole chicken
- 2 lemons juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoning salt, mustard powder, and black pepper in a bowl; set aside.
- Remove giblets from chicken cavity; rinse chicken thoroughly. Place chicken in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons spice mixture in chicken cavity; rub remaining spice mixture on outside of chicken.
- Combine lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl; drizzle over chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear, about 1 ½ hours, basting several times with remaining lemon-oil mixture. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near but not touching the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
