Roasted chicken is a simple yet impressive dish that is perfect for both beginner cooks and experienced chefs. The recipe includes a whole chicken seasoned with salt, black pepper, and onion powder, and cooked with butter and celery stuffed in the cavity. The key is to ensure the skin is dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness. Roasting time is around an hour for a 3-pound chicken, and the dish can be served with a variety of delicious side dishes.

Steps
1.Step 1
Collect all the necessary ingredients. Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2.Step 2
Season the chicken generously inside and out with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in a roasting pan, and put 3 tablespoons of butter in the cavity. Arrange the remaining butter in dollops on the outside of the chicken.
3.Step 3
Cut celery into 3 or 4 pieces and place them in the chicken cavity.
4.Step 4
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven without a cover until it is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, which should take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, and it should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
5.Step 5
Remove the dish from the oven and baste it with the drippings. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it rest for approximately 30 minutes before serving.
