Ingredients
- 1 (4 to 5-pound) whole chicken, packet of giblets removed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Make sure the chicken is thawed. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Preheat to 425°F
- Place the chicken breast side up in an oven-safe pan. Truss the legs. Drizzle with oil and use your hands to rub it all over the chicken.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, patting the seasoning in with your hands.
- Roast the chicken for 70 to 90 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Double check doneness with an instant-read thermometer placed in the thickest part of the thigh. It should read 165°F. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes on a cutting board before slicing and serving.
