What you need:
Roasting Chicken
Bottle of Italian Dressing
Baby Carrots
Onion
Celery
Parsley
Pepper
How you do it:
Pre-heat Oven to 400°f
Place chicken in a roasting pan
Pour dressing over chicken
Sprinkle entire chicken with parsley and pepper
Add carrots, celery and quartered onion to the chicken and pan
Depending on weight bake 2 hrs for the 1st five lbs and ½ hr for each additional lb.
Remove tin foil for the last 30 min to brown the skin.
Allow chicken to settle for at least 15 min
Use your pan juice and some flour and salt to make the perfect gravy.
If there isn't enough juice, add a can of chicken broth to the pan for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Why it's good:
The acidity from the vinegar in the Italian dressing gives the meat a great taste and the favor and aroma from the onion, celery and carrots in the chicken are perfect for a simply delicious gravy. I serve my baked Italian chicken with smashed red potatoes.
Enjoy and Mangia Tutto
