How to Make Chicken On A Bottle

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse and pat dry a whole chicken (approximately 3-4 pounds).
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Generously rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, inside and out.
Place a clean, empty glass soda bottle (approximately 12-16 oz) upright in the center of a roasting pan.
Carefully place the chicken on top of the bottle, ensuring it is balanced.
Roast for 80 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy your incredibly juicy and flavorful chicken!
