Roast in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding the bone, to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (120-150 minutes)
06 Step

10 mins
Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. (10 minutes)
For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning and roasting. You can also brush the chicken with melted butter or olive oil during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Add other aromatics to the cavity, such as garlic cloves, lemon slices, or sprigs of thyme, for a more complex flavor profile.
If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil to prevent burning.
