Ingredients

  • 5- 1/2 pounds Fresh Young Chicken
  • 4- 1/2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoons Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

Method

  • 1.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Remove the giblets from the inside of the chicken.
  • Set aside for use in making stock.
  • 2.
  • Pat the chicken dry.
  • Assemble a roasting pan with a wire rack inside and put the chicken on the rack.
  • 3.
  • In a small bowl, combine the oil and seasonings.
  • This will form into a paste-like consistency.
  • 4.
  • Using a pastry brush, coat the entire surface of the chicken skin with the oil/seasoning paste.
  • 5.
  • Turn the chicken so that the breast is facing up.
  • I like to tuck the wing tips behind the back of the chicken.
  • (Imagine someone laying in the sun with their hands behind their head and you will know what I mean.)
  • 6.
  • Place into the preheated oven.
  • 7.
  • Bake for 90 minutes until golden brown and juices run clear.
  • 8.
  • Remove from the oven and tent with foil for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
