  1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
  2. Combine all ingredients except chicken in a small bowl.
  3. Rub spice mixture over the outside and inside of the chicken. Rub some under the skin on the breast.
  4. Place chicken on a rack in a pan with the breast side down and wings tucked. Roast in the oven for an hour.
  5. Flip the chicken over. Insert a meat thermometer in the thigh. Roast for about another hour or until the internal temperature reaches 175 deg F.
