  8. Turn the chicken breast side up, cover and roast for another 30 minutes.
  9. Increase the oven temperature to 400.
  10. Uncover the casserole and roast the chicken for about 30 minutes longer, until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165.

  12. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes.
  13. Carve the chicken and arrange on the platter.
