Oven Roasted Chicken

I came up with this recipe and let me tell you this chicken is finger licking good!  Another easy one to put together overnight or before you go to work and just pop it in the oven when you get home.  I really like cooking in oven bags because the chicken just comes out so moist and tender and an easy clean up afterwards :)
The great part about chicken leftovers (if there are any left) is you can do so much with it afterwards-put it in soup, make a sandwich, quesadilla, etc.









Oven Roasted Chicken Ingredients (prep time-8 hrs to marinate, cook time-1 hour 30 min)

  • 1 whole chicken (around 3 lbs is a good size)
  • Olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  1. Wash chicken and make sure you remove all goody stuff from the inside (ie-the guts).
  2. Dry off chicken and drizzle with olive oil all over for a nice coat and give the chicken a good rub down.
  3. In a small bowl mix all seasonings and sprinkle all over chicken (use up all of the mixture)
  4. Next place chicken in oven bag and let it marinate over night (about 8 hrs) in the fridge.
  5. When you are ready to cook, set oven to 350 and cook for 1 hour and 30 min.
