Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 whole chickens, 5-6 pounds each

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Mix the seasonings together.
  • Rub the spice mix over the chicken, being sure to get some on the inside.
  • Place the chicken in a roasting pan, and pop it in the oven, covered, for one hour.
  • When the hour is up, uncover the chicken and bake for another 30-45 minutes.
  • Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • Once roasted, let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period lets the juices redistribute, making for a juicier chicken.
  • Carve and serve as desired.
