Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large whole fryer, quartered
1 Tbsp each kosher salt,thyme,garlic powder, onion powder,paprika, no salt added lemon pepper, &chive
1 tsp each dried rosemary, & dried thyme
3 medium lemons (2 sliced)
non stick cooking spray

Steps:

1. Split chicken in half cutting thru the breast bone. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Then cut each chicken half in half between the leg and wing. Wash thourgly, then pat dry.
3. In a small bowl blend all the herbs and spices together and then sprinkle generously over each piece of chicken. Do the inside first, then sprinkle on the out side lastly. Then position on a large shallow baking pan. Spray pan with non stick cooking spray first, then add chicken pieces.More than likely you will have some spice blend left over, I keep extra already mixed together in an empty spice jar for all types of meats and vegetables.
4. Add at least 2 slices of lemon on each piece of chicken. Then with remaining lemon cut in half, and squeeze juice over each chicken part. Place in preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for 1 and a half hours or until juices run clear & pieces are a nice golden brown.
5. Serve while still hot. Use pan drippings to make a nice pan gravy or add to your pasta as I did.
6. Serve with your favorite sides, I served it with Orzo Pilaf, and Fresh Spinach saute with sweet Red peppers & onions. It was quite tasty
