Instructions

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)

Dry Brine Magic 🧂
Pat the chicken completely dry and sprinkle spices under the skin 24 hours before cooking to intensify flavor penetration and ensure crispy skin.
Convection Boost 🌪️
If using a convection oven, reduce temperature by 25 degrees and cook 25% faster for an evenly golden, rapid-roasted chicken.
Spice Layer Technique 🌶️
Mix dry spices with olive oil first to create a paste, which helps the seasonings adhere better and distribute more evenly across the chicken.
Rack Position Pro 🍗
Place chicken on the middle oven rack to ensure consistent heat circulation and prevent burning on the bottom or overcooking the top.
Moisture Locking Trick 💦
Place a shallow pan of water on the bottom oven rack to create humidity and prevent the chicken from drying out during rapid roasting.
