A delightful roasted chicken recipe infused with a blend of herbs and spices, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy skin.
Place the whole chicken in a roasting pan.
Ensure the chicken is dry for better seasoning adherence.
In a microwaveable bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and butter. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Use a basting brush for precise application.
Season the chicken with poultry seasoning, garlic powder, basil, pepper, and salt. Place the bay leaves inside the cavity.
Rub the seasoning into the skin for maximum flavor.
Bake the chicken uncovered for 30 minutes. Baste with the pan juices and continue baking for another 30 minutes.
Basting keeps the chicken moist and flavorful.
Check the chicken's doneness using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F at the thickest part.
Avoid overcooking to maintain juiciness.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist meat.
