  • Preheat the oven to 230 degrees.
  • Rinse the chicken and dry well with paper towels. (tip: the drier the chicken, the crispier the skin will get)
  • Put salt and pepper inside the chicken.
  • Tie the legs and tuck the wings back so they’re secured underneath the chicken. (tip: by tying everything well, you ensure that it cooks evenly).
  • With a tablespoon of kosher salt, sprinkle the entire chicken with salt. An even layer of salt on top will give great flavor to the skin. Also cover with pepper.
  • Place the chicken in a roasting pan and when the oven temperature reaches 230 degrees, put it in the oven.
  • Roast the chicken for 50-60 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and add thyme, melted butter, and mustard to the pan. Stir well and coat the chicken with this mixture.
  • Let it rest for 15 minutes and enjoy.
