Pat dry, season generously, and tie the legs together with twine.

Position a tray underneath the chicken to catch drippings and keep your oven clean.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 60–75 minutes, or until internal temp hits 165°F.
5. Let It Rest
Remove from heat and let it rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.
