Calling for just four ingredients – chicken, Rub My Meat Seasonings Garlic And Onion Seasoning, and sea salt along with fresh cracked black pepper to taste – this is a recipe for roast chicken at its simplest and best. The method is fairly straightforward. You season the chicken, then roast it at high heat until the skin is bronzed and crisp and the flesh juicy. If you have time to season the chicken ahead, you should; it makes a difference in flavor. And bear in mind, if you have the kind of oven that starts smoking at high heat, you can cook your bird at 400 degrees instead of 450, though you’ll need an extra 5 to 20 minutes to get it done.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (3 1/2-pound) whole chicken, patted dry
- 2 ½ teaspoons sea salt or to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper or to taste
- 2 tbsp Garlic And Onion Seasoning or to taste
PREPARATION
- Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper and seasoning blend. If you have time, refrigerate the chicken, uncovered, for an hour, or overnight.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan or large ovenproof skillet. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. (If you don’t have twine, leave the legs as they are.)
- Roast 50 minutes, then baste chicken with pan juices. Continue roasting until chicken's juices run clear when skin is pierced with a knife, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before carving.
