If the chicken has guts, remove it. Wash the

Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings under the chicken.
Season the whole chicken with salt and pepper.
Combine butter, spices and minced garlic in a small
mixing bowl.
Mix all ingredients with a fork until smooth.
Spread the butter mixture over the chicken by hand.
Wash potatoes and carrots and cut in half. Dice the
onion into chunks and drizzle with olive oil before placing the vegetables
around the chicken. Garlic salt should be sprinkled over vegetables.

minutes. When the skin of the chicken is golden brown, cover loosely with
aluminum foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Cooking time will likely
be around 70-80 minutes.
