Smothered Chicken

2 Tbsp. vinegar
1 3 1/2-pound broiler chicken (any whole chicken will do)
4 ribs celery
4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 small onion, sliced
I add carrots
Salt and pepper to taste

Place the vinegar in the bottom of a deep ovenproof casserole dish or Dutch
oven with a cover. Add chicken and surround with veggies. Add seasonings
to taste. Cover tightly and roast at 350* for 1 hour. The meat will be
moist and juicy without having a strong vinegar taste.
I learned to not go by the cooking time of this recipe. It is best to go by
the estimated time on the chicken wrapper for the weight of the chicken. I
could never find a 3 1/2-pound chicken, only larger.
