Use the Pampered Chef Covered Baker for this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (3 1/2-4 lbs)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Seasoning Mixture
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp pakrika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves

Preparation

Step 1

For chicken, lightly spray deep covered baker with oil. Remove and discard gibets, and neck from the chicken cavity. Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat if necessary. Tie ends of legs together with cotton string. Lift wing tips up toward neck, then tuck under back of chicken. Place chicken onto a cutting board, brush with oil using basting brush.
For seasoning mixture, combine ingredients in prep bowl; mix well. Completely coat outside of chicken with mixture. Or instead of seasoning mixture, simply use salt, pepper, and another seasoning of your choice. Place chicken, breast side up, into baker.
