whole chicken (giblets removed)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F, position a rack in the lower third of the oven, and let the chicken sit at room temperature.
Dry the chicken thoroughly with paper towels, then place it breast side up in a roasting pan or cast-iron skillet.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil, then rub it all over with your hands. Truss the legs for even cooking.
Sprinkle the chicken with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning, pressing the spices gently onto the skin to adhere.
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for about 70 to 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thigh.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, then carve and enjoy.
