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 Secrets 🌶️
Toast your dried herbs like basil and oregano in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing to intensify their aromatic oils and deepen the flavor profile.
Crispy Skin Technique 🍗
Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels before applying olive oil and spices to ensure maximum skin crispiness and even browning.
Elevated Spice Distribution 🧂
Gently separate the chicken skin from the meat and rub your spice mixture directly underneath for more intense flavor penetration.
Rapid Roast Precision 🔥
Use a high-sided roasting pan and position the chicken breast-side up to promote even cooking and prevent burning.
Moisture Lock Method 💧
Create a quick pan sauce by deglazing the roasting pan with white wine or chicken stock to capture all the delicious caramelized bits and add moisture.
