Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Rinse chicken and remove insides; dry off with a paper towel.
- Combine ranch dressing mix, granulated garlic, poultry seasoning, paprika, and cayenne for rub in a bowl.
- Rub chicken with oil. Put 1/3 cup apple cider, onion wedges, and fresh garlic inside the chicken, using onions to block the opening. Sprinkle rub all over using a teaspoon; be sure to coat legs and under wings.
- Place chicken on a stand-up roasting rack and set into a deep baking dish. Pour in remaining apple cider and ranch dressing mix.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for the best flavor. A whole chicken will give you more meat and a richer flavor than just chicken breasts or thighs.
- Dry the chicken thoroughly before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Roast the chicken on a rack. This will allow the air to circulate around the chicken and help it cook evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
Conclusion:
Cider-roasted chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a crispy skin and a flavorful cider glaze. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
