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 9x13-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).
