Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
Zest of 1 lemon, the lemon quartered
One 3-pound chicken, giblets removed
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 fresh bay leaves
2 medium onions, sliced into 3 rings each
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne and lemon zest in a bowl. Wash the chicken and pat very dry. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken. Set the chicken on a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours (to dry out the skin and promote crisp skin).
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Stuff the chicken with the lemon quarters, garlic and bay leaves. Arrange the onion slices to make a bed for the chicken in a large cast-iron skillet. Set the chicken on the onions and tuck the wings tips under the chicken's body. Brush the chicken all over with the melted butter.
  • Roast the chicken, basting once halfway through with the pan juices, until the skin is crisp and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh (do not touch bone) reads 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let rest at least 10 minutes before carving.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken is more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Pat the chicken dry before rubbing: This will help the rub adhere to the chicken.
  • Use a generous amount of rub: Don't be afraid to use a lot of rub. The more rub you use, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
  • Let the chicken rest before roasting: This will allow the rub to penetrate the chicken and develop its flavor.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin get crispy and the meat stay moist.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This savory-rubbed roast chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The rub is made with a variety of spices and herbs that give the chicken a flavorful and aromatic crust.
