Oven 375°
1 whole large Chicken
Johnnies seasoning
1 tsp Italian seasoning

***note. Add mixed garlic butter with herbs under the skin if desired. Rosemary Thyme and Lemon is also popular. Just blend together and stuff it under the skin. You can even put whole leaves in there.
preheat the Oven to 375°
Cut the backbone out of the chicken Don’t throw it away, and remove the wishbone, both sides.
Press down Firmly on the Brest bone to break it to flatten the Bird.
D Extra Virgin Olive oil on both sides of the Bird.
Mix the Johnnies Seasoning with the other spices, and sprinkle evenly and well All over, Both sides.
Position Bird on a Jelly Roll or Broiler pan to catch drippings.
season the giblets and backbone the same as the chicken. Place the back bone close to the chicken where it will fit but close so it doesn t over cook. Same with the giblets.
put a thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh or breast….I do both. Or use your ovens probe.
put the chicken on a middle rack in the Oven and Bake/Roast for between 45 min and close to an hour. Internal temp should be 160°
Take the Bird out and allow to rest for 10-15 min…the temp will rise to 165° cut and enjoy.
Save the bones for bone broth/Soup stock.
