Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the chicken, making sure to cover it evenly.

Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.

Roast the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Shred
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Then, shred the chicken meat using two forks.

Warm the Tortillas
While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
