- 1 * 1 onion, sliced
- * extra virgin olive oil, for basting

Preparation
Step 1
Directions
Chicken
1. For chicken, preheat oven to 350F (180C). Arrange onion slices in a roasting pan just a few inches larger than the chicken. Place the chicken on top of the onions. Baste chicken with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
2. Cover pan and roast for 20 minutes. Remove cover, baste chicken with juices from the bottom of the pan and continue roasting until an internal temperature of 175?F (80?C) is reached, basting 3 or 4 times during roasting. Remove pan from oven and let chicken stand for 10 minutes before removing and carving.
