Easy Sunday dinner, good enough for company but simple to make. This recipe comes from Taste of Home and is one of my go to recipes when whole chickens are on special. We can enjoy the breast meat for one meal. There is always enough chicken for another couple of meals. Then I boil the carcass for chicken stock to create soup at a later date.
When roasting the chicken add some carrots and potatoes along side the chicken, that way your whole meal is complete and in one pan.
Oven: Preheat 350°
Bake: 2 hours depending on the size of your chicken
Onion Garvey: About 1 1/2 cups
Servings: 8 - 12 Servings
Ingredients:
