Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole roaster chicken (6 to 7 pounds) , rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon softened butter
3 tablespoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Tuck the wings under the chicken; tie legs together with a piece of kitchen twine. Rub with butter.
  • In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, cayenne, and thyme. With dry hands, sprinkle chicken with spice mixture; don't rub. Place chicken in a cast-iron skillet.
  • Bake until coating is blackened, 30 to 45 minutes. Tent with foil; continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees and juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove chicken, and let stand 5 minutes before carving. Pour pan juices into a glass measuring cup; skim fat from top. Strain, and serve sauce with chicken.
