This chicken is superjuicy and very flavorful. Though there are a lot of ingredients, 4 of mine were tubed and I made the paste in about 10 minutes. For those that are accent shy omit it, the kosher salt adds more than enough enhancer. I just wanted something around the house to nosh on and it will become chicken salad or on cooler days served with herbed mushroom rice and zucchini.

How To Make simple roast chicken

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°

Step 2

Take all seasonings, and olive oil and make a paste. Rub over chicken that has been rinsed and patted dry.
Step 3

Dot your chicken with butter or not. I do for added richness.
Step 4

Put your chicken in the oven uncovered for the 1st 20 minutes. Then lower temperature to 400° and continue roasting, another 40-50 minutes.
Step 5

Remove from oven after a total time of 1 hour 15 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting.
