Medieval Roasted Chicken

OMG. This is the juiciest chicken we have ever eaten. Enough said.
  • 1 roaster chicken (we usually buy a "whole chicken" that's already been cut up)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup paprika
  • 1/2 cup granulated garlic
  • 2 cups lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon pepper
  • 1/4 cup Italian spice
  • 2 teaspoons salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine all ingredients together to prepare the marinade. Dip the whole chicken in the marinade. Cover chicken completely with marinade. Let sit for 4 to 5 minutes. (We usually marinate it for 30 min or so, just to get it good and soaked with all that flavor.) Place chicken on a sheet pan. Cook for 50 minutes uncovered, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. (We also find that 50 min is not enough for the thickest pieces of chicken. Use a thermometer to make sure the chicken is done when in doubt.)
