Seasonings: This roasted chicken is simply seasoned with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.

How Long to Roast a ChickenIn an oven preheated to 350 degrees F, a 3-pound whole chicken should be completely cooked in a little more than an hour.

Roasted Chicken TipsRoasting a whole chicken at home requires almost no effort and very few ingredients," says culinary producer Nicole McLaughlin. Here are a few of her favorite tips for perfect roasted chicken every time:
The most important thing to know, according to Nicole: "Dry skin is crispy skin." Make sure you get the skin nice and dry with a paper towel before you season the chicken.
"Don't forget to season the inside as well as the outside," says Nicole, who recommends also getting under the skin with butter for extra flavor. If you don't have a roasting pan, that's totally fine. Nicole prefers using a simple baking sheet with a rack on top. To prevent the wings from burning during the long roasting process, Nicole tucks them under the bird before sticking the chicken in the oven.Ingredients
