I have used this recipe several times now and it is great. I had never roasted a chicken before so it was an easy recipe for me to follow as a beginner and it turned out delicious.

very easy recipe. i had to throw something together with only a few hours notice and this really did the trick. i used a 6 lb chicken, but did not modify the amounts of the seasoning - i had still had ample seasoning. i seasoned under the skin. the only real modification i made was i also rubbed butter over the skin and put about a tablespoon or two in the cavity of the chicken. it smelled so good while it was roasting and it was so moist. my family loved it. so simple - thanks!

Fabulous! This was my very first time cooking a whole chicken, and it turned out really moist and flavorful. I did brine it overnight first. Then I mixed up the spices (used double what's specified, plus I upped the cayenne a bit) and added a bit of ginger powder too. I rubbed the dry rub under and over the skin, stuffed the cavity with chopped garlic, ginger, and sage, and then let it sit for about six hours before cooking. We did get some smoke while it was at 450, but it wasn't bad. I'll definitely be making this one again!

This was delicious!!! I made it today for dinner and can't believe how fast it was. My husband loved it. I did not get the smoky oven that some other reviewers had mentioned and the chicken was moist and filled with flavor. Thanks so much for this recipe!

Yummy. Turned out kind of like what you'd get in the grocery store. Next time I may double some of the spices... the key to the delicious tasting grocery ones usually involve a lot of salt and seasonings :)

I needed a fairly quick way to prepare a whole chicken this evening and so I tried this recipe. I was using a 5 lb. chicken, so I doubled the spices. Also, I was out of cayenne and so I substituted white pepper for that. I rubbed the spices on top of and under the skin, then placed on a rack in a baking pan. Since I was using a bigger chicken, I left it at 450 for 30 minutes instead of 20. It was great!

I made this tonight and it was very good. For ease, I mixed together all the spices with the olive oil, let it set for 10 minutes and then rubbed it all over the chicken, even inside the cavity. I cooked exactly as stated and it turned out beautifully. I will definitely make this again.

I have LOVED cooking my chicken this way for quite some time! For added juiciness and crispy skin, I add thin slabs of butter under the skin, and on top of the skin. I also add a little flavor by tucking sliced garlic cloves under the skin and in the cavity with sliced onion and celery. I use the spices from this recipe and slow cook my chicken sometimes, or I'll season the chicken differently but use this cooking method.

Good basic roasted chicken recipe that I've used in my family for a long time. I do add onion powder, season salt, and garlic powder to the dry mix. Equally, similar to other reviewers I cook it a little longer and/or if I am trying to do a rapid cook, I increase the temp. Doing it according to the recipe leaves chicken meat which looks a bit undercooked. I also use a rotissiere which helps it cook more evenly.

I LOVED this chicken. This and the sticky roast chicken are by far the best I've made. I increased the spices and added garlic powder and cajun season. I put the spices under the skin and inside the cavity of the chicken. I added 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the pan to prevent burning. I had to cook my chicken longer than the recipe calls for. This recipe will be in heavy rotation at our house.

The seasonings worked well with the chicken. I added a half of lemon, 3 cloves of garlic and a couple sprigs of fresh thyme to the cavity of the chicken. I cooked it on a rack and put water in the bottom of the pan. The last hour I basted it with the drippings...yummy.

Perfect! I used white cooking wine in the bottom of the pan and no smoking occured. I added red potatoes with rosemary near the end. I also used a 5+ lb. chicken, so I lowered the cooking temp to 400 and cooked longer. What a hit!

If you are not into spicy, and/or your meat is dry, I suggest a few things: First, lift the chicken skin and rub your spices into the actual meat as well as the skin. I suggest cutting a lemon into half, and squeezing and rubbing the lemon juice on the skin. I then use garlic, cracked pepper, and other spices on the chicken. I take lemons and limes and stuff the chicken with it. No stuffing to suck the juice out of the bird! It infuses the bird with excellent flavor, keeps it light for summer dishes, and helps preserve the juiciness. Last, but not least, I'm a white meat girl, and hate a lot of fat and calories. Cook your bird upside down - breast (with skin) at the bottom. The moistness from the dark meat and the rest of the bird sinks into the white meat. The breast skin is not as tempting, because the breast has soaked the flavor. All in all, great when having to whip together a quick, and healthy, meal!
