The method I’ve come to rely on over the last several years. I usually make this in two steps. I prepare the chicken in the morning and throw in the fridge to allow the skin to dry out before cooking in the evening. But it works just fine if you prep the chicken right before you pop it in the oven too.

Whole Roast Chicken with Lemon & Herbs Whole Roast Chicken with Lemon & Herbs
This is a simple way to roast chicken that makes the meat aromatic and delicious! Lately for Thanksgiving & Christmas, I've been roasting chicken instead of big turkeys, simply because I don't need to feed so many people (not to mention I have a tiny oven). I think it's still just as festive ;)Roasting guide (Oven at 400°F/200°C):2 to 2.3 kg (4.5 to 5 pounds) - 65 to 75 min.1.6 to 1.8 kg (3.5 to 4 pounds) - 50 to 60 min.
