How to Make Moist Roasted Whole Chicken
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up.
- Season the chicken generously inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and any other desired herbs and spices.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Add 1 cup of chicken broth or water to the bottom of the pan.
- Roast for the first 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
- Continue roasting for another 40-50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
