Oven Roasted Chicken

Oven Roasted Chicken with sweet potato fries and green beans

1 whole chicken

1 TBSP. Olive Oil

salt 

pepper

garlic powder

1 lemon

parsley

This is how to cook it--I pat the chicken dry and put it in a roasting pan or a casserole dish. Coat it with the olive oil and then I season it with some salt/pepper and a little garlic powder. Then I squeeze the juice of one lemon over it and add a little parsley! Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes and then reduce heat to 375 degrees and continue to cook until juice runs clear (165 degrees with a food thermometer). Usually about another 50 minutes to one hour! 

Serve it with sweet potato fries and fresh green beans! This is always a hit :)
