Basic Baked Chicken Recipe:
• 1 chicken, whole
• Salt and black pepper
• Olive Oil
Directions:
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Take the chicken out of its trappings; remove giblets; rinse thoroughly; pat semi-dry; cover with a generous amount of salt; spread about 3 tablespoons of butter over it (you can use your hand). Smear a little butter on the bottom of the baking dish (or pan, or even just aluminum foil) and place in center of oven, breast-side up. Add a little rosemary if you like. Cook for about 65 minutes, assuming it's an average-sized chicken. (For anything over 3.5 pounds, add about 8-10 minutes per pound.)
3. Chop up leftover veggies: some onion; carrots; and garlic cloves (all cut up crudely). Then, about 20 minutes into the affair, Add a cup of water to the pan, mix all the trimmings up, and scatter them around the chicken. Drizzle olive oil over the veggies. Add some parsley or cilantro and some orange slices as a garnish.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
You can bake a whole chicken and season it any way you like, although we prefer dry rub or a marinade. Leave the skin on during cooking to retain the natural succulence of the chicken meat and to prevent dry or tough cooked chicken, even if you decide to throw it away after chicken has cooked
