What You'll Need

1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (4- 5-pound) roasting chicken
2 yellow squash, cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place vegetables and potatoes in the bowl with the remaining seasoning mixture and toss to coat well. Place vegetables around chicken in roasting pan.
Bake 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, or until no pink remains in the chicken and the juices run clear, basting chicken and vegetables occasionally.

I am sending the link to this recipe to my mom. No one loves chicken more than her, and she makes it all the time in a bunch of different ways. I know she would love this recipe and it would give her a change from fried, Italian baked and chicken strips.

This sounds REALLY good. The only thing I would change:add lemon Zest, and use Fresh rosemary cut up finely,OR, dried rosemary AND few sprigs of fresh for extra flavor. Going to try this tonite,with my garden veggies. Thanks!
