How To Make baked whole chicken with spring vegetables

    Chef’s Note: Brining helps to keep the chicken moist.
  • 3
    Gather your ingredients.
  • 4
    Place a rack in the middle position, and then preheat the oven to 425f (218c).
  • 5
    Add the veggies to an oven-safe dish.
  • 6
    Mix the Dijon mustard with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and olive oil.
  • 7
    Chef’s Note: Take the squeezed lemons and put them into the chicken cavity.
  • 8
    Place the chicken on top of the veggies.
  • 9
    Drizzle the chicken with the Dijon mixture.
  • 10
    Add the chicken stock to the dish.

    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
