• 2 Put the chicken in a container to marinate it. Prick the chicken with a knife to make several holes so the seasoning can get inside the chicken.
• 3 Spread the seasoning all over the chicken, including in the holes., and let it sit while we get the oven ready. Check to make sure there is an adequate amount of salt.
• 4 Some ovens come with a rotisserie spit that spins as it cooks so that the meat is roasted evenly. If you have this type of oven, you just need to place the chicken on the rotisserie and cook it at 180° for approximately an hour and a half (if it is a small chicken), or until the skin is completely golden.
• 5 On the other hand, if you don't have a rotisserie, put the chicken on an oven tray in the oven, preferably on the lower level if it is a small oven, and cook it evenly from top to bottom without ventilation for an hour until it is golden. Then, turn it around so that the other side cooks as well. [thrive_leads id='3383']
