Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

Rinse and pay dry your chicken and place in a roasting pan. (I personally stuff my chicken with stuffing but that’s optional.)

Rub the room temperature butter all over the chicken and then sprinkle the dry seasoning evenly all over and place in oven. Roast for 5 hours checking internal temperature to ensure it’s at 160 or higher.

Tip: every hour I turn the pan and 2 hours in I begin to bast the bird with the juices in the pan, I brush the bird softly as well to give it the even brown skin throughout!
