Chicken and Seasoning

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it on a cutting board.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, then season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the fresh rosemary inside the cavity and on top.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
