Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that golden, crispy skin we all love.
Remove the chicken from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure that the skin crisps up nicely during roasting.
Rub the entire chicken with the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring it gets under the skin. Sprinkle kosher or sea salt and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Place the chicken breast-side up in the roasting pan and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carve the chicken into pieces and serve alongside your favorite sides.
