Cooking Method

1. Prepare Your Bird: Remove the chicken from its package and discard (or save for another culinary project) the giblet pack nestled inside.
2. Season Generously: Rub the entire bird with olive oil, ensuring every surface glistens. Then, sprinkle liberally with salt.
3. Roast to Perfection: Place your seasoned chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F. Roast for 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Rest & Finish: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes to lock in all those mouthwatering juices. Right before serving, add a finishing touch of freshly ground black pepper.
5. Carve and Enjoy: Slice up your heritage chicken and savor every succulent, flavor-packed bite.
