Cut up the whole chicken into parts, including breasts, thighs, and drumsticks.

Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons into a bowl to use for the marinade.

Add onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, dry parsley, ground black pepper, Creole seasoning, and Adobo seasoning to the lemon juice.

Optionally, add melted butter or olive oil to the marinade until it reaches a pancake-like consistency.

Pour the marinade all over the chicken and rub it in thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

Place the seasoned chicken into a baking dish.

Bake the chicken at 375°F for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, check the chicken; it should look golden and mouthwatering.
