Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Add the chicken to a dutch oven, roasting pan, or deep skillet. Pat it dry with a paper towel and discard the paper towels.
To a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Brush the butter and herb mix all over the chicken on top of the skin and underneath.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 40 minutes. Baste the chicken with the pan juice and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 155°-160°F at the thickest part of the breast.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
