- 1 whole chicken (about 4–5 pounds)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rub the chicken thoroughly with olive oil and season it generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Place the chopped potatoes, carrots, and quartered onion in the bottom of a Dutch oven.
- Sit the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables.
- Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it into the preheated oven.

Notes
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked perfectly. Letting the chicken rest before carving allows the juices to redistribute.
