Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Rinse chicken thoroughly inside and out under cold running water and remove all fat. Pat dry with paper towels.

Put chicken into a small baking pan. Rub with olive oil. Mix the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, paprika and cayenne pepper together and sprinkle over chicken.

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lower the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and continue roasting to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 40 minutes more. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butterfly for Speed 🦋
Spatchcock the chicken by removing the backbone to ensure faster, more even cooking and crispier skin throughout.
Spice Blend Technique 🌶️
Toast the dried herbs and spices in a dry skillet for 30-60 seconds before mixing to intensify their flavor profile and aromatic complexity.
Oil Massage Magic 💆‍♀️
Gently massage the olive oil and spice blend under the chicken skin to ensure direct seasoning contact with the meat and create a more flavorful result.
High Heat Positioning 🔥
Place the chicken on a wire rack inside the roasting pan to allow hot air circulation and achieve maximum skin crispiness from all angles.
Cayenne Control 🌡️
Adjust cayenne pepper quantity based on personal heat tolerance, starting with half the recommended amount and increasing gradually for perfect spice balance.
