A few nights ago my wife strongly suggest that chicken would be nice for supper. Me, being the dutiful husband that I am, and loving to cook agreed and ran to the grocery store. I picked up a whole chicken, one lemon, one onion, some red potatoes and got to work. First I cleaned and and prepped the bird in to which I promptly shoved my lemon. The lemon was first filled with holes, using a fork, to allow the juice to moisten and flavor the chicken from the inside out. After being lightly seasoned with lemon pepper, the chicken was placed in the dutch oven and the sliced red potatoes and onions were layered around the chicken. One can of beer was added for flavor and liquid then more lemon pepper was added. This was all cooked at 375 degrees for about two hours. The result was a tender, great tasting chicken served with potatoes and a salad. The juice left in the oven made a wonderful light gravy for the potatoes. The best part, however, was seeing the smiling faces around the table.
