Ingredients

1 Chicken. -four to five pound chicken that has been thawed and rinsed and with giblets removed if included.
1 Lemon. - Sliced in half.
1 Onion. -sliced.
¼ cup Butter -melted.
½ teaspoon Salt - or to taste
½ teaspoon pepper - or to taste
1 lb Potatoes. -cut small
1 lb Carrots. - Baby carrots or large carrots that have been peeled and chopped small.

Instructions

Prepare. Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare your chicken as indicated. This includes removing the giblets and rinsing and patting the chicken dry with paper towels.
Chicken. Season the chicken, inside and out, with your salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the chicken and then place the lemons into the cavity of your chicken. Lastly, brush the melted butter over your chicken.
Layer Ingredients. Create a bed of sliced onions, quartered potatoes, and chopped carrots in the bottom of your Dutch oven. Then place the prepared chicken on top of the ingredients in the bed.
Bake. Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and roast for 30 minutes. Then carefully take the pot out of the oven, remove the lid, and then return the pot to your oven to roast until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the skin is golden brown and crispy (uncovered, about an hour to an hour and a half).
Serve. Once done, remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender result.
