Ingredients

How to make it

  • Remove all giblets and things stored in the cavity of the chicken, either reserving to make giblet gravy or tossing.
  • Clean the chicken, rinsing it with cold water.
  • Stuff the cavity with celery that has been washed and cut into lengths that can be stuffed into the cavity, some sticking out can be decorative. Stuff as much celery as you can into the cavity.
  • Rub sage all over the chicken.
  • Salt & Pepper the chicken to taste.
  • Put the chicken in the center of a covered roasting pan.
  • Surround the chicken with whole peeled potatoes, and peeled and quartered red onions.
  • Cover, and put into a 375F oven.
  • Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, then remove the cover and return to oven set at 425F to crisp for about 20 minutes or until done. (Typically roasting takes 20 minutes per pound, but covering it helps cut the time because of steaming, and keeps it moist.)
  • Let the chicken set 5 minutes before carving.
  • Juices may be spooned over meat and vegetables on the plate.
