Method

1. Wash the chicken thoroughly inside and out and rub it with lemon, a little vinegar, and salt. Rinse it again and place it in a colander to drain.
2. Cut the onion into 4 pieces and place them inside the chicken; also cut the carrot and put it into the chicken cavity.
3. Sprinkle spices over the chicken inside and out: seven-spice, chicken seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
4. It’s best to leave the chicken in the marinade overnight in the refrigerator until cooking time the next day.
5. The next day place the chicken in an oven roasting pan, preferably a covered clay (earthenware) pan.
6. Put lemongrass inside the chicken. You can substitute bay leaves if lemongrass is unavailable. Rub the chicken with butter.
7. Put the chicken in a preheated oven for one and a half hours covered, then remove the pan cover and leave it for another half hour until it browns.
8. Serve the oven-roasted chicken alongside cooked American rice with vegetables.
