How to Make Yummy Oven Blasted Chicken
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Rinse a whole chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs) and pat it completely dry with paper towels. This crucial step ensures crispy skin.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Brush half of the melted butter (2 tablespoons) all over the chicken.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
- Generously rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
- Quarter one medium onion and stuff it into the chicken cavity.
- Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the chicken.
- Roast at 450°F (232°C) for 20-25 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and continue roasting for 40-50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C). Cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
