Preheat oven to 175°C.
Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder. Place 3 tablespoons margarine in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken's exterior. Cut the celery into 3-4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity.
