Combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.

Cook potatoes, covered, in boiling water to cover over medium heat 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool. Cut into bite-size pieces.

Combine potato, celery, pimiento, and chopped fresh parsley. Toss with 2 tablespoons oil mixture, and spoon into chicken cavity. Tie ends of legs together with string. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a broiler pan. Brush with oil mixture.

Bake at 375° for 1 1/2 hours, basting frequently with remaining oil mixture. Add 1/4 cup hot water to pan; bake about 30 more minutes or until chicken is done. Makes 4 servings.

Rules for Roasting •Roasting chicken at a high temperature (450°) for a short time, then lowering the temperature for the remaining cooking time seals in the juices and keeps the chicken moist and tender. •While you can also roast a broiler-fryer with good results, chickens specifically for roasting are labeled "roasting broilers." These birds generally weigh more and are meatier and more succulent. If you are roasting a broiler-fryer (which normally weighs approximately 3 pounds), decrease baking time by about 45 minutes. •Let roasted chicken stand for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This standing time "sets" the juices and makes for a more flavorful bird. •Roast chicken on a rack in a broiler pan so fat can drip off and away from the bird.
