Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1-2 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 pound roasting chicken
- ¼ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F and pat the chicken dry with paper towel.
- Mix together the paprika, garlic salt and pepper and spread evenly over the entire surface of the chicken.
- Place the chicken on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. The rack is essential so the entire chicken gets crispy.
- Roast the chicken for 1 hour and 15 minutes. 25 minutes into roasting, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and baste the chicken with the melted butter. Repeat the basting process every 15 minutes with the remaining butter.
- Once done, a meat thermometer should register at 165 degrees F and the juices should run clean. Remove from the oven and tent with tin foil for 10 minutes before carving.

Notes
- Cooking a whole chicken doesn't have to be scary! This tastes better than a rotisserie from the store and can give you a great meal plus leftovers.
