Super Easy Yummy Chicken

We just made this for dinner, and it was DELICIOUS and super easy. I'm always looking for an easy dinner and this is it. The recipe is simple. #1 Get a Chicken. I think this was about a five pounder, and you'll want to get a good size bird. #2. Get the stuff out of the cavity of the chicken and put garlic inside the cavity and under the skin. #3. Take a stalk of celery and cut it so it fits inside the cavity of the chicken. Slice two lemons, putting one lemon in the cavity of the bird and one on top. #4.Sprinkle salt and pepper and garlic powder all over the inside of the cavity, under the skin and on top. #5. I used 1/4 c. butter in slices all over the top and inside the skin, and then put another 1/4 c. butter inside the cavity. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2-2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Cover in foil and let stand 30 minutes before serving. The gravy is sooooo good. Take the drippings and heat in a saucepan. When the gravy starts to boil, pour in cornstarch in water. Enjoy!
