Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Roast Chicken.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, give your chicken a thorough rinse under cold running water, making sure to eliminate any excess fat.
Step 3
Once rinsed, gently pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
Step 4
Next, nestle the chicken into a small baking pan and generously coat it with olive oil, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, paprika, and a hint of cayenne pepper for a delightful kick.
Step 6
Sprinkle this aromatic blend evenly over the chicken, ensuring every inch is seasoned to perfection.
Step 7
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes, letting the enticing aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 8
After this initial burst of heat, lower the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C), which should take about 40 additional minutes.
Step 9
Once your chicken is beautifully golden and cooked through, allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, letting the juices redistribute for maximum flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy your perfectly roasted chicken, a dish that’s sure to impress!.
