Equipment

1 roasting pan

Ingredients

1 chicken whole, or pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp dry rub

Instructions

You can get the seasonings to stick well if you thaw it just slightly so the outside is barely tender, or brushing olive oil on top of rock hard poultry pieces or whole bird.
Always preheat oven before adding any meat. If you are baking a whole frozen bird 350 degrees F works well.
Set bird into pot with high sides to catch juices. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings of choice. Then cook as desired.
If you are baking a whole frozen bird it will take 3.5-4 hours until tender and thickest part of thigh reaches 165 degrees F.
** However you cook it it is best when it reaches about 155 F to drizzle on a bit more oil on top and add a few pinches of seasonings again just before it is done. This will bake on to the skin when becoming crispy to season the outside really well.
