This is adapted from a number of recipes.
Place ovenproof roast pan in oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
Season the chicken. I use Montreal-syle Chicken spice. Place chicken in a roasting rack breast-side down. When oven is at temperature, place the chicken on the roasting pan with legs facing the back. Roast for 20 minutes.
After initial 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F. There could be alot of smoke so don't open the oven door yet. Set the timer for another 20 minutes.
Now flip the chicken so that it is breast side up. Continue roasting until the internal breast temperature has reached 175°F.
Remove from oven, let stand covered with foil, and then serve.
