- 1.
- In a medium-sized bowl mix together all ingredients (except chicken).
- 2.
- Place the whole chicken into a large (about 2 gallon size) Ziploc bag and pour in the marinade.
- 3.
- Spread the marinade so that it covers all the chicken.
- 4.
- Seal the bag, put it into the refrigerator and let it marinate overnight.
- 5.
- Take the chicken out of the fridge about 30-45 minutes before you roast it, so it comes closer to room temperature.
- This helps the chicken become more moist and cooked evenly.
- 6.
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. 7.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any garlic so it will not burn.
- 8.
- Lay the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan or cast iron skillet.
- 9.
- Truss the chicken (tie the legs together) using some kitchen twine.
- This keeps the juices in during the roasting and makes the meat more tender.
- 10.
- Roast for 45-55 minutes.
- 11.
- Remove it from the oven and let it rest 5 minutes before carving.
