Keto Whole Roasted Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 3.5 lb Whole Chicken
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 cup Butter (divided)
- 1/2 Lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place chicken in a roasting pan. Sprinkle inside and outside with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add half the butter & lemon slices into the cavity of the chicken.
- Spread remaining half of butter & lemon slices around the outside of the chicken.
- Bake uncovered until an internal temperature of 180°F (82°C) is reached. Cooking time is about 90 minutes (but will vary based on oven and chicken).
- Remove from oven and baste with drippings.
- Cover and rest for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Feel free to customize this chicken by adding fresh herbs, fresh garlic, or more seasonings.
If there is a lot of extra space around your chicken in the roasting pan, add some vegetables. This will prevent the drippings from burning (and offer you a delicious side dish for your chicken).
