Ingredients

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, rinsed
salt and pepper to taste
1 small onion, quartered
0.25 cup chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for roasting the chicken.
Season the chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper, both inside and out. Stuff the cavity with onion and rosemary for added flavor. Place the seasoned chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish or roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone.
