2 1/2 teaspoons Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Seasoning Blends (Poultry Magic)
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash original blend
1 whole chicken, cleaned, excess fat removed, and cut down the back with the backbone removed
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon arrowroot
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1. In small bowl, add olive oil and spices and mix. Take mixture and rub thoroughly over entire chicken and let sit for at least 2 hours, covered.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
3. Place chicken in a roasting pan and pour chicken stock over it. Cover the chicken and place in the middle rack of the oven. Cook at 350 F for 1 hour. Baste constantly (every 5 minutes).
4. Remove chicken from the oven and uncover. Turn the oven to 475 F and continue cooking for 10–15 minutes, basting often. Increase heat to 500 F and broil for 10 more minutes until chicken browns and skin is crisp.
5. Remove chicken from the pan and pour juice from the bottom of the roasting pan into a saucepan. Skim any excess fat. In a separate small bowl, mix the arrowroot and water, and then add to saucepan. Let simmer about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, and serve along with chicken.
