Best Roast Chicken

Obtain a roasting chicken (they are bigger and plumper than a skinny little chicken that you might normally buy). Get your garden snips, and snip that backbone out of there. Once the backbone has been cut out, then open up that cavity some. I call it breaking the bones. twist him about a little.

Apply your favorite dry rub inside and out. Put him right on a cookie sheet (I purchased one for a commercial oven as it fits well in a 42 inch oven and It can do 2-3 birds at once)

Oven should be at 600 already. Put chicken in oven. At about the 15 min mark, pull the pan out and pour sliced potatoes and sliced sweet onions that you have already cut up, salt and peppered and even slightly oiled, all around the chicken, and then back into the oven for approx 40 more minutes.
