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)

Spice Blend Mastery 🌶️
Toast the dried herbs and spices in a dry pan for 30-60 seconds before mixing to intensify their aromatic oils and deepen the flavor profile.
Skin Crispiness Technique 🍗
Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure the skin becomes supremely crisp and golden brown during roasting.
Elevated Resting Hack 🍽️
After roasting, let the chicken rest on a wire rack instead of a flat surface to prevent steam from softening the crispy skin and maintain its texture.
Oil Coating Pro Tip 💦
Massage the olive oil and spice mixture under the chicken skin for deeper flavor penetration and more even seasoning throughout the meat.
High Heat Precision 🔥
Use a high-sided roasting pan and place the chicken on a rack to allow hot air circulation, ensuring even cooking and preventing soggy bottom surfaces.
