My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

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

Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder.

Place 3 tablespoons margarine in the chicken cavity.

Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken's exterior.

Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity.

Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

Remove from heat, and baste with melted margarine and drippings.

Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving.
