Cooking Instructions

step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Rinse Whole Chicken (1) and remove giblets. Pat dry with paper towels.

step 2

Mix Poultry Seasoning (2 tsp), Seasoned Salt (1/2 tsp), Dry Mustard (1/2 tsp), Ground Black Pepper (1/2 tsp), Simply Organic Garlic Powder (1 tsp) in a bowl and rub onto the chicken, both outside and inside.

step 3

Stuff chicken with Fresh Rosemary (2 sprigs), Fresh Thyme (4 sprigs), Lemon (1).

step 4

In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, heat up Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes. Sauté Onion (1) for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

step 5

Stir in White Wine (1/2 cup) and cook until evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Add Chicken Broth (1 cup) Carrots (6), Lemon (1). Stir well and place the seasoned chicken on top.

step 6

Bake for 1.5 hours to 2 hours until chicken is completely cooked through and the temperature near the bones reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Baste the chicken with broth and juices a couple times during the roasting process.

step 7

Once chicken is done, transfer the chicken and the vegetables to a serving plate.

step 8

Skim as much fat as possible from the surface of the remaining broth and juices in the skillet with a big spoon and bring it to a boil. Cook until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season it with Salt (to taste).

step 9

Slice chicken, serve with vegetables and sauce. Enjoy!
