- 1 stalk celery but into quarters
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped thyme
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped sage
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped rosemary
- Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove giblets from chicken; rinse chicken and pat dry.Place onion and celery quarters inside the cavity. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Rub oil over bird. Sprinkle herbs all over and add freshly ground pepper.
