Rub the Butter or Olive oil on the inside and out of the Chicken, and under the skin.

Place the Vegetables in the bottom of an 11"x13" baking dish.

This was originally a recipe for baking or roasting a Turkey. I adapted it for Chicken and it turned out great! It makes a nice Friday or Saturday night dinner. Or even a good Sunday meal. The Orange, Lemon and Onion inside help make it moist and add a lot of flavor. so this flavorful, nutritious, comfort food meal ranks high on my list of favorites. Give it a try. It's sure to please!
