I like to change up my seasonings, depending on what flavor I want. Sometimes I'll use Thai or chili seasoning, as well. You can also stuff the cavity with different fruits and veggies. The recipe can be very versatile.

1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Add salt and pepper to cavity of chicken.
3

Stuff cavity with lemons, garlic, onion, thyme, and rosemary.
4

Smear 1 tbsp of butter over top of chicken and drizzle with olive oil.
5

Season top of chicken, including the legs and wings, with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, sage, garlic powder, and paprika.
6

Place bacon strips across the top of the chicken breast, slightly overlapping, if needed.
7

Slice skin near the drumsticks. Place chunks of butter by both drumsticks and wings.

Place on a roasting rack in center of the oven, and roast for approximately one hour, or until juices run clear when poked with a fork. Bacon will baste chicken while it cooks.
