Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Fold wings of chicken under back. Tie or skewer drumsticks together. Place chicken, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Arrange squash and onions around chicken.
2 In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients; brush on chicken and vegetables just until evenly coated. Reserve remaining butter mixture. Insert meat thermometer in chicken so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone.
3 Roast uncovered 1 hour. Brush remaining butter mixture on chicken and vegetables. Cover loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake 45 to 55 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 180°F, juice of chicken is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut and squash is tender.

Fantastic! I know, when my husband says "That was good stuff woman", it's a keeper. I actually used potatoes, sliced carrots and onions for my veggies and they were wonderful. Served with dressing and covered all with a little extra of the juices. Will definitely make again.

This chicken came out moist and delicious. I guess I don't much care for acorn squash, I will pick a different squash or do potatoes next time, but the butter mixture is a keeper. There also seemed to be a lot of it, plenty to tuck in to all the nooks and crannies.

Next time I need to use a larger baking pan, becuase some of the squash wasn't soft enough probably due to being piled on top of each other. Otherwise, it turned out good; loved using squash instead of the usual potatos & carrots!
