WHOLE ROASTED ITALIAN LEMON-HERB CHICKEN
This may also be made using a larger roasting chicken however the spice mixture should be increased and the cooking time --- use fresh lemon juice only for this, and for the best flavor remember to keep basting the chicken with the pan juices frequently during cooking --- this chicken is very good!

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine the Italian seasoning with seasoned salt, black pepper, mustard powder and garlic powder.
- Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil with 2 tablespoons melted butter and the juice of 2 whole lemons (you may save the lemon skins and add to the cavity of the chicken if desired or discard).
- Wash the chicken thoroughly under cold water then pat dry.
- Place the chicken onto a rack that is fitted into a greased baking pan.
- Rub about 1 tablespoon or a little more of olive oil over the dry chicken.
- Sprinkle the inside cavity of the chicken with about 1 teaspoon seasoning mix.
- Place the lemon halves and onion inside the cavity (along with the lemon skins if desired).
- Tie the legs together with cotton butcher's string.
- Rub the outside of the chicken with the remaining spice mix (at this point you may cover the chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours).
- Drizzle the olive oil/lemon juice mixture over the top of the chicken.
- Bake uncovered in a preheated 350 degree F oven to about 2 hours or until cooked thoroughly, basting several times with the pan juices.
