Prep Time: 10 Minutes  Cook Time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes  Total Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes
When you want an impressive centerpiece for Sunday dinner or a special-occasion meal, you can't go wrong with this golden chicken from our Test Kitchen. The moist, tender meat is enhanced with a hint of orange, savory and thyme.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (6 pound) roasting chicken
  • 1 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried savory
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
Directions:
  1. Place chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Carefully loosen the skin above the breast meat. Combine the onion salt, thyme, savory, orange peel and pepper; rub half of the herb mixture under the loosened skin. Rub chicken skin with oil; sprinkle with remaining herb mixture.
  2. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees F. Let stand for 10-15 minutes. Remove skin before carving. Skim fat and thicken pan juices for gravy if desired.
