Butter Roasted Chicken

I think that Chicken is an international bird eaten everywhere.  No wonder, it's so tasty and so easy to make.

Ingredients

1 whole chicken 3-5 pounds
Assorted vegetables of your choice, cut into bite size pieces if large
½ cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon parsley
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 425. Place butter in 9x13 baking dish and put in oven to melt while it preheats.

In small bowl, stir together all seasonings.

Once butter is melted, place chicken in center of pan. Brush melted butter all over and sprinkle liberally with seasonings, reserving about a teaspoon for veggies.

Arrange vegetables around chicken in pan. Sprinkle remaining seasonings over them.

Place this, uncovered, in oven for one to one and a half hours, basting vegetables and chicken with butter in pan from time to time and covering loosely with foil if necessary to prevent overbrowning, until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.

Enjoy!

Notes
The seasonings are a general guideline.  I only used dried herbs, but very likely fresh would give the most taste.

Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.
