The best way to prepare a chicken for roasting is to season it generously with salt and pepper, then rub it all over with butter or oil. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and add some herbs and vegetables of your choice. Roast at 350°F (180°C) for about 1 hour per pound (450 g), or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
