A simple yet delicious roast chicken recipe using a whole chicken, seasoned with rotisserie chicken seasoning and lemon pepper. Perfectly roasted to achieve golden and crispy skin.
1: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2: Lay the chicken flat, breast side down, in a large lined rimmed baking tray.
3: Using kitchen scissors, remove the backbone of the chicken, remove anything inside, and separate the legs and thighs from the breast meat so they lay flat.
4: Dry the chicken with paper towels, coat in oil and generously season with rotisserie chicken seasoning and lemon pepper.
5: Flip the entire chicken and press down on the center of the breastbone to flatten it further.
6: Tuck the wings and repeat the last step.
7: Cover with foil and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
8: Remove the foil, baste the chicken with its pan juices, and return to the oven for an additional 25 minutes.
9: Broil for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
10: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, loosely tented with foil, before slicing and serving.
