This is an adaptation of  a prize-winning recipe from a contest
organized by the Israeli Touring Club in Jerusalem many years
ago.  It combines the most popular and economical ingredients in
an Israeli meal: citrus fruit and chicken.  The chicken can be
served with matzo at Passover or with challah, a traditional bread,
for a Sabbath meal.

chicken
1 lemon
2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Garlic powder
2 tsp. Paprika

          sprinkle over chicken.
5.)       Squeeze juices from lemon half and from one of the
         oranges into roasting pan and add water.  Place
         remaining orange, whole and un-peeled, in chicken
         cavity.  Cut onions in half and add to the pan.

         juices and lower heat to 350 F.  Cook for 1 hour,
