Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon seasoning salt

  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken

  • 2 lemons

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

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

  2. Combine the seasoning, salt, mustard powder, garlic powder and black pepper; set aside. Rinse the chicken thoroughly, and remove the giblets. Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture inside the chicken. Rub the remaining mixture on the outside of the chicken.

  3. Squeeze the juice of the 2 lemons into a small bowl or cup, and mix with the olive oil. Drizzle this oil/juice mixture over the chicken.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until juices run clear, basting several times with the remaining oil mixture.
