Ingredients

1 (4 pound) whole chicken
salt and pepper to taste
6 whole onions
6 potatoes, peeled
4 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for optimal roasting.
Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, then place it in a large roasting pan. Arrange the onions, potatoes, carrots, and celery attractively around the chicken. Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Roast in the preheated oven, basting with pan juices occasionally, until the chicken achieves a beautiful golden-brown color, approximately 2 hours. Remove the aluminum foil for the final 30 minutes to crisp the skin. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh registers at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
