Roasted Chicken

1 roasting chicken, thawed
1 lemon, wedged
1 onion, wedged
Cloves of garlic
Parsley
Poultry seasoning
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 250º.

Rinse out chicken, remove gizzards, etc., pat dry. Place in roasting pan, breast side up.

Squeeze lemon juice from lemon wedges over the top. Fill chicken cavity with lemon rinds, onion, and garlic. Generously sprinkle parsley, poultry seasoning and olive oil over top.

Bake for 5 hours. The last 20 minutes of roasting, turn oven to 425º for a crispy skin.

Remove from oven, cover with foil and let rest for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
