Ingredients
- 2 1/2 to 3 lb. Chicken
- Butter, yogurt, or oil (for rubbing)
- M-K Chef’s Secret Seasoning
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325°.
- Clean the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry.
- Rub the chicken with your choice of softened butter, yogurt, or oil ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Generously season the chicken both inside and out with the M-K Chef’s Secret Seasoning.
- Place the seasoned chicken on a rack set inside a roasting pan.
- Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Occasionally, baste the chicken with the drippings collected at the bottom of the roasting pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
- The chicken is done when its juices run clear and the skin is golden and crispy.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it juicy.
