Ingredients

4 servings

  • 1 whole chicken, 4–5 pounds
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 medium Idaho potatoes, quartered
  • vegetable of choice, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pat the chicken dry, including inside the cavity (remove any giblets, if applicable), with paper towels. Rub the chicken inside and out with 2 teaspoons of salt.
  • In a small bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, poultry seasoning, ground rosemary, paprika, and turmeric and mix well. Add the softened butter and mix well.
  • Rub the seasoned butter all over the chicken, including under the skin. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Add the potatoes to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, arranging in an even layer. Place the chicken, breast-side up, on top of the potatoes, use twine or foil to tie the chicken legs together.
  • Roast the chicken for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the leg reaches 165°F (75°C). If the skin starts to brown too quickly, tent with foil or reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
  • Serve the chicken with the potatoes and your favorite vegetables and drizzle with the pan juices.
  • Enjoy!
