Simple Whole Baked Chicken

Our family used to pick up a baked chicken at the grocery store on the way home at least once a week. But really it saves money to cook it yourself. So here is our favorite whole baked chicken recipe:

4 lb. chicken

2 T Salt

1 t black pepper

1 lemon

1 T paprika

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Rub salt and pepper all over the chicken and inside the cavity. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze juice over chicken. Put squeezed lemon halves inside the cavity. Rub paprika all over the outside of the chicken. Place in glass casserole dish and bake for 3 hours.

You can also try this in your crock pot too!
