Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 whole chicken (3-5 pounds)
  • assorted vegetables of your choice
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425. Place butter in a 9x13 baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while it preheats.
  • In a small bowl, stir together all seasonings.
  • Once the butter is melted, place chicken in the center of the pan. Brush the melted butter all over and sprinkle liberally with seasonings, reserving about a teaspoon for the veggies.
  • Arrange the vegetables around the chicken in the pan and sprinkle the remaining seasonings over them.
  • Place this, uncovered, in the oven for 1 to 1.5 hours, basting the vegetables and chicken with the butter mixture in the pan from time to time. Cover loosely with foil if necessary to prevent over-browning, until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.
