List of Ingredients
- 1 (6 to 7 pound) whole roaster chicken, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
Instructions
- 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.
