Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. 3

    Season Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chopped rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.

    Place the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan, breast side up.

  3. 7

    Roast Chicken

    Put the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
