Sunday Dinner Roast Chicken

1 whole fryer chicken
2 medium potatoes
1 medium onion
4 ribs celery
several baby carrots
7 cloves garlic
chopped or dried parsley
salt and pepper

Choose a whole fryer chicken. This means that the chicken will be very tender. Open the package, discard the giblets and rinse the outside and cavity thoroughly. Place in a roasting pan.

Chop up your vegetables into bite-sized chunks. Put the vegetables around the chicken in the roasting pan. Put 1 clove garlic, 1 wedge of onion, and 1 celery piece in the cavity of the chicken.

Sprinkle everything with parsley, salt, and pepper generously. Put the lid on the roasting pan and cook at 325 for about 20 - 30 minutes per pound of chicken.
