* whole or cut up chicken (I prefer Purdue)
* olive oil
* garlic powder
* celery salt
* black pepper
* rosemary

Wash chicken thoroughly and pat dry.

Coat chicken in olive oil. (Olive oil works better than other oils for its hearty flavor and health benefits.)

Sprinkle spices generously on both sides (and inside if using a whole chicken).

Line a metal pan with aluminum foil (for easier cleanup).

Cook at 325 degrees. Do not cover. If using parts, turn after 30 minutes.

Cooking time will vary depending on whether you use a whole chicken or parts. Make sure temperature reaches 180 degrees.

For added crispiness, after baking, put chicken under broiler for a minute or two, but be careful not to let it burn!

This is a very simple recipe, allowing the full flavor of the chicken to shine through. Perfect for a family style dinner. Served with pasta and tomato sauce, it is a very kid-friendly meal.
