Answer 2

Season your chicken with Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, and squeeze some lime or lemon juice over the whole hen before and, as it is cooking. dash a little salt with it and cook slowly at 275 deg. Melt about 1/4 cup of butter and marinade the bird often re-using the same butter and natural chicken juices. A nice size chicken (3-5lb) should take about 1 1/2 hours to cook at 275. I guarantee this chicken will be tender and scrumptious. -S

Answer 3

You can make a mix garlic or whatever seasoning you like with butter and gently lift the skin and put pads of it underneath. If you're baking a whole chicken stuff the cavity with a lemon and some fresh herbs. Tent foil over the chicken until the last 15 minutes so the skin crisps and browns.

Answer 4

I use citrus fruit inside the fowl while cooking. You could also use some of the juice mixed with butter for basting.

Answer 5

I bake chicken pieces rubbed with salt, pepper,garlic, rosemary, olive oil and lemon juice. Delicious.

Answer 6

Toss some half lemons and garlic in the cavity. Also, rub it down with salt and herbs. Yummy.
