Marinate the Chicken
Place the whole chicken in a large resealable bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Add bay leaves. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roast the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with the juices every 30 minutes for extra flavor.

Rest and Serve
