It was easy, economical, comforting, and offered a different tasting experience from <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/baked-chicken-breasts\/\">baked chicken breasts<\/a> (namely, I got dark meat and crispy skin!). My mom loved to serve this recipe with a side of roasted vegetables for weeknight dinners, but I&#8217;ve found it can go far beyond that. You can zhuzh it up for a stunning Thanksgiving main (that&#8217;s not a <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/thanksgiving-turkey-recipe\/\">roast turkey<\/a>) or carve it up to make soups, protein bowls, or even breakfast hashes.

Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For the chicken<\/strong>: Grab a 4 to 5-pound whole chicken. If it&#8217;s smaller or larger, you&#8217;ll need to adjust the cooking time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For the flavor<\/strong>: All you need are olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

If you find that the chicken skin is getting burnt, you can quickly top it with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Just keep in mind that all ovens heat differently.<\/strong> So use a meat thermometer to check your chicken at 70 minutes to see if it has reached 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).

If you&#8217;re using a smaller chicken, make sure to check the temperature early, so that you don&#8217;t accidentally overcook it and end up with a dry bird.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have kitchen twine to truss the legs, not to worry. You can still roast the chicken and just the legs fall open. But I&#8217;d recommend checking on the chicken 10 to 15 minutes earlier, as it typically cooks faster.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have Italian seasoning, just sprinkle of mix of individual spices such as dried basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.<\/li>\n<li>If you want a fancier roast chicken recipe, check out the one in my <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/cookbook\/\">cookbook<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s two whole roasted chickens (hello meal prep!) on a bed of fennel, pear, and onion. So delish!<\/li>\n<li>There have been a couple of comments about smoking out the oven when making this recipe. I think that might be due to two things:\n<ul>\n<li>Not letting the chicken come to room temperature and fully patting it dry, which leaves water\/moisture on the chicken. This moisture then combines with the oil and splatters.<\/li>\n<li>Not using a large enough pan. If the pan barely fits the chicken, any splatters are likely to go over the edge and onto the bottom of your oven, creating smoke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div
