Healthy Chicken and Turkey Recipes - Tasty Roasted Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (about 5 pounds)

• 1 heaping tablespoon mayonnaise

• Salt

• Pepper

• Paprika

• Onion powder

Serves 5

---

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. If your chicken was frozen, make sure it's completely thawed. (If it's still a bit icy in the middle, run some hot water inside it until it's not icy anymore.) Take out the giblets.

3. Dry your chicken, and put it on a plate. Scoop the mayo out of the jar (being careful not to get raw chicken germs in the mayonnaise jar), and use it to give your chicken a massage. That's right, just rub every inch of that chicken's skin with the mayonnaise.

4. Sprinkle the chicken liberally with equal parts salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder, on all sides. Put the chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, and put it in the oven.

5. Roast for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you stick a fork in where the thigh joins the body. Remove the chicken from the oven, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before carving, to let the juices settle.
