Roasted Chicken

Cooking Time

Six hours ideally. 1 to 1.5 hours minimally.

Ingredients

  • 3-4 pound chicken
  • salt
  • pepper
  • onion
  • dressing/stuffing optional

Instructions

  • Wash chicken quickly and make sure all insides have been taken out.
  • Add salt, pepper and onion and put into a greased oven dish.
  • Cook in a slow oven.
  • Roasts and fowl should cook at 300 degrees (at least) for 1st half hr to kill any bacteria that could be present
  • Lower to just below 300 degrees for at least six hours — makes it very tender and juicy.
  • You could cook faster at 350 degrees for 1 to 1.5 hours if necessary.

If you want to add dressing [stuffing], the method is the same, but mix dressing and fill chicken’s cavity before cooking.
