CHEF'S TIP
If you are in a hurry, preheat the cast-iron skillet to speed things up a little.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Rinse the bird and pat dry.
- Brush the bird with a little olive oil to help the seasoning stick.
- Cover the entire chicken with the rub and ensure that all external areas are well covered.
- Toss the potatoes and garlic in a little oil and season with salt.
- Place the chicken in the center of cast iron skillet, nestle the potatoes and garlic around it.
- Set the skillet in the oven and roast for about an hour. Check if it’s done by inserting a thermometer in the thickest part of the leg, it’s ready when the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F.
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
