Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
• 2 lemons
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon mustard powder
• 0.5 teaspoon seasoning salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoning salt, mustard powder, and black pepper in a bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Remove giblets from chicken cavity; rinse chicken thoroughly. Place chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons spice mixture in chicken cavity; rub remaining spice mixture on outside of chicken.

Step 4

Combine lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl; drizzle over chicken.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear, about 1 ½ hours, basting several times with remaining lemon-oil mixture. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near but not touching the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
