Name: Juicy Roasted Chicken
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 1 h 45 min
Total time: 2 h
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed; salt and black pepper to taste; 1 tablespoon onion powder, or to taste; 1 stalk celery, leaves removed; ½ cup butter or margarine

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place chicken in a roasting pan; season generously inside and out with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in chicken cavity; arrange dollops of remaining butter on the outside of chicken. Cut celery into 3 or 4 pieces; place in the chicken cavity.

Bake chicken uncovered in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove from the oven and baste with drippings. Cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for about 30 minutes before serving.
