2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp lemon pepper
1 3-3.5 lb whole chicken
Olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together the oregano, garlic powder, salt and lemon pepper.
Pat your chicken dry. Place in a roasting pan, oven-proof frying pan or cast-iron skillet. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and rub it all over the chicken. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken. Place your chicken in the oven and roast for 1-1.5 hours until the juices run clear and an internal meat thermometer reaches 170 degrees inserted in the thickest part of the thigh. Remove from oven, cover with foil and let rest 10-15 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Optionally: You can stuff a half a lemon and some sprigs of fresh oregano inside the chicken before you roast it.
