Roasted Lemon Herb Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
• 2 lemons
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

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

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 9×13 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.

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.

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