Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
The first thing you’re going to want to do is preheat your oven to 450°F, unwrap your chicken, remove the giblets, pop-up timer, and fat from the inside. You will then proceed to rinse the bird with water, and pat dry with paper towels (inside and out). Generously salt and pepper the cavity, place the chicken into a roasting pan, and brush the bird with melted butter. Cook at 450°F for 50-60 minutes.
