Juicy Roasted Chicken

Is there anything more satisfying than a big plate of chicken wings?

Recipe Summary Juicy Roasted Chicken

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken's exterior. Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity.
