Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and cook whole (thawed) chicken for 10-15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and roast for 20 minutes per pound. (Do not add the extra 15 minutes to the cooking time as with the regular method.)
Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Rub salt and pepper on the outside of the chicken. Place the chicken in a preheated, 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes per pound of chicken. For example, bake a 4 lb. chicken for an hour and a half. Insert a meat thermometer into the fattest part of the chicken thigh, taking care not to touch the bone.
