A quick easy one is with coarse salt.

Fill the bottom of a cooking pan with coarse salt (maybe 1/4 inch deep)
Put the chicken on top.
Throw it in the oven

The salt absorbs alot of the grease etc from the chicken, and gives it a little flavor as well.
Actually taste alot better than the description sounds lol
Very tender chicken with a hint of a salty taste.
And believe it or not, it is quite healthy as well.

I've posted the recipe for our ultimate roast chicken with roast potatoes and parsnips as the answer to a question left earlier today on Sunday Dinners. If you can find that, it's delicious, non-spicy, and very easy to make. The question it's under is "Would like an idea to start for home cooked Sunday Dinner".

A baked/roasted chicken with lots of various herbs and spices (no salt - Mrs Dash instead) inside the cavity. Also oranges stuffed inside of the cavity and under the skin. If you have a flavor injector, inject orange and pineapple juice into the chicken. It will make if very tasty and moist. Bake for about an hour. It is also low in sodium.

Homemade mashed potatoes from scratch with no salt butter and crushed garlic. Don't peal all the outside off the potato. Leave a little bit of skin on them. Also no salt when cooking them but use Mrs Dash table blend. (I use Mrs Dash table blend instead of salt. My husband is on low low sodium diet. The step daughters can't tell the difference.)

Fridge canned reduced fat rolls or biscuits.

For dessert, an angel food cake with fresh fruit in it's own juices. Get frozen fruit, add a little sugar or splenda and let thaw. It will make its own juices.
Good luck

1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) chicken, giblets and cavity fat removed
Coarse grained salt and cracked black pepper
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice *see note
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Note: if you don't like super-lemony lemon chicken ? use 3/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 chicken broth or water

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Put the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
Using a sharp knife or poultry scissors, cut through bones on either side of backbone. Remove and backbone (save for soup stock). Place chicken breast side up on cutting board. Flatten chicken by placing the heel of your hand over the breastbone and pressing down firmly. Season chicken generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Refrigerate overnight or let stand at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Roast chicken, rotating once, for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees F and cook 15 minutes more or until an instant read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 160 degrees F, or until juices run clear.
While chicken is roasting make the lemon sauce. Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the oven and place on a cutting board. Cut chicken into pieces. Pour the fat off the broiler pan, leaving the solids. Add chicken back to pan. Pour lemon sauce over the chicken and place the pan back in oven and cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley. Serve over rice.


Tip: The recipe works perfectly fine with a whole chicken cut in half, quarters, eighths, or any which way. If you're cooking for one, cut the recipe down and the cook time too.

Tip: If you're the least bit apprehensive about cutting up a hot chicken, buy it cut up or cut it up yourself before you cook it.

Get the book called "Southwest Slow Cooking" by Biber and Howell and make the "Tequila Chicken". No tomatoes, super healthy, and excellent taste.
