Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken, 4-5 lb
  • 3 tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 3 carrots, cut into chunks
  • 4 celery stalks, cut into chunks

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat the whole chicken completely dry with paper towels—this creates that gorgeous golden, crispy skin. Place it breast-side up in a large roasting pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, rosemary, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Rub this spice mixture all over the cozy fall spiced roasted whole chicken recipe, getting some under the skin for maximum flavor penetration.
  3. Arrange the quartered onion, carrot chunks, and celery around the chicken in the pan. These vegetables will roast alongside your bird and create a vegetable medley side dish that needs no additional preparation.
  4. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan around (not over) the bird. Roast at 425°F for 15 minutes to sear the exterior, then reduce heat to 375°F and continue cooking for approximately 60-70 minutes longer, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part of the thigh.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. This resting period allows juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring tender, succulent portions every time you slice.
