1 Chicken
1
Place ovenproof roast pan in oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Now flip the chicken so that it is breast side up. Continue roasting until the internal breast temperature has reached 175°F.
5
Remove from oven, let stand covered with foil, and then serve.
