Step 2

2 Prepare the chicken by drying it thoroughly with paper towels. Season the entire chicken with salt and pepper, including the cavity. Don't skimp on the salt! Next rub the outside of the chicken with the barbecue seasoning, and then place it in the baking dish.

Step 3

3 Surround the chicken with the onion and lemon wedges, and then evenly place the butter slices on top of the chicken.

Step 4

4 Move the baking dish to the lower oven rack, and bake for 1½ hours or more, depending on the size of the chicken. Frequently baste the chicken with drippings, and if necessary, add water. If testing the chicken for readiness with a kitchen thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding the bone. The chicken is ready when the temperature reads 165°F (75°C).
