Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5-6 lb whole chicken frozen without giblets inside
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Place chicken in roasting pan with rack, breast side up. This allows air to circulate under the chicken during baking.
  • Mix together herbs and olive oil and spread onto top of chicken. Place pan uncovered in center of oven for 3.5 to 4 hours. Check the temperature of the chicken in the breast and the thigh.
  • The temperature should read 165° before removing and allowing to rest (remember meat will rise another 5-10 degrees as it rests).
  • Remove chicken from roasting pan and allow to rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. This helps prevent the juices from running out when slicing. Slice meat and watch for juices to run clear.
  • If there is any red or pink juice or you see under cooked meat, return the chicken to the oven for 20 minute increments. Slice and serve.
