You are going to love how easy it is to put everything together in this dish. All it needs is just a few ingredients and you have the best Roasted Chicken Ever.

Here Is How You Do It…

Ingredients To Gather

1 3-5 lb. organic, free-range chicken at room temperature

2 Tbsp (or more) sea salt or kosher salt

2 Tbsp fresh ground black pepper

3 ft. kitchen twine

The Step-By-Step Directions To Follow

1. Remove chicken from refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
2. Measure your salt and pepper into small pinch bowls and set aside. (This way you can season the chicken without sliming up your salt and pepper shakers.)
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
4. Reach inside the chicken cavity and remove the bag of giblets (if there is one). The giblets can be discarded or frozen to be used for broth.
5. Rinse the chicken inside and out and thoroughly pat it dry with paper towels.
6. Generously season with salt and pepper inside and out.
7. Truss the chicken with twine.
8. Place chicken on a 9 x 12 in. roasting pan or medium-sized oven-proof skillet with the breast and legs pointing upward. Roast on the center rack for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the juices run clear and/or the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
9. Remove chicken from oven and let the bird rest for 15 minutes before carving. While you wait, Instagram the heck out of it.
10. Once rested, carve the chicken into the breasts, thighs, wings and drumsticks and serve family-style on a platter. Pick any remaining meat off the bones and save it for other meals. Save the carcass in the freezer to use for broth.
11. Pat yourself on the back and dig in.
12. *Trussing might seem like a waste of time if you’ve never done it, but it’s worth the effort. If you skip this step, hot air will circulate in the chicken cavity and cook the breast meat before the legs and thighs are done.
13. Trussing keeps the cavity closed, holds the wings and legs in tight, and ensures everything will cook evenly.
14. If you’re not sure how to do it, read this article or watch this video. And don’t worry about being perfect!
