Olive Oil Roasted Chicken
- 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
- 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.
