Drying the chicken skin helps it get crispy. Don't overcrowd the vegetables.

Place the dried chicken in a large roasting pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried herbs. Rub the seasonings all over the chicken, including under the skin if desired.

Baste the chicken occasionally with pan juices for extra moisture and flavor. If the chicken browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
5
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful chicken. Serve with the roasted vegetables.
