It's easy to prepare and requires minimal effort, making it ideal for busy weeknights. The total cooking time is around 1 hour and 15 minutes, plus a 30-minute resting period. Enjoy!

Stuff and Top the Chicken

Place 3 tablespoons of the melted butter in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining melted butter on the outside of the chicken. Place the cut celery pieces in the chicken cavity.

Roast the Chicken

Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
