BEST WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN

Ingredients:
1 medium whole organic chicken
1/4 c melted butter (you can use avocado oil)
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika 
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp thyme
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp dried sage
2 tsp dried rosemary

Directions:
1. Wash, and pat dry the chicken (make sure to completely dry it).

2. Rub the chicken inside and out with melted butter, then, garlic and all the spices.

3. Sprinkle with extra paprika and dried rosemary.

4. Leave it to marinade for at least an hour, or overnight. 

5. Preheat oven to 450F.

6. Place chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan or large ovenproof skillet.

7. Roast for 1 hour, then baste chicken with pan juices and roast for another 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken).

8. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.

*P.S. I placed the carrots to the pan with chicken 20 minutes before I took out the chicken and they cooked in chicken juice 

*make sure the chicken is baked to 165F using the meat thermometer.

Enjoy!
