Baked Lemon Chicken

If you are like our household and accidentally buy extra lemons and have no idea what to do with them, here is a great recipe! Or if you just like a really moist, easy baked chicken recipe this is the one for you. :-D

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
3 lemons
2 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine the seasoning, salt, mustard powder, garlic powder and black pepper; set aside. Rinse the chicken thoroughly, and remove the giblets. Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture inside the chicken. Rub the remaining mixture on the outside of the chicken.
Stuff chicken with quartered 3rd lemon.
Squeeze the juice of the 2 lemons into a small bowl or cup, and mix with the olive oil. Drizzle this oil/juice mixture over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours (or until reaches 180 degrees), or until juices run clear, basting several times with the remaining oil mixture.
