Roasted chicken

Submitted by katespace

Simple, yet DELICIOUS (trust me). See also my gravy recipe to make gravy with the drippings.

Ingredients

 * 4 lb. whole chicken
 * ~2 tbsp salt
 * 1 small onion
 * 1 small apple

Directions

 * 1) Preheat oven to 425F.
 * 2) Peel the apple and onion, and cut each into quarters.
 * 3) Rub the outside of the chicken with salt to form a nice crust.
 * 4) Place the chicken into a roasting pan and place the onion and apple quarters into the cavity.
 * 5) Bake the chicken for 80-100 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
 * 6) Let chicken rest 15 minutes before carving (it will coast the rest of the way to the recommended safe temperature of 165F).
