4. Place the chicken on a roasting pan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes per pound.

Remember to let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting into it - this will help it retain its juices and increase tenderness. Serve it up with your favourite side dishes or use the leftovers in sandwiches or salads.

Bonus tip: If you prefer crispy skin, try broiling the chicken for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

In conclusion, with a little bit of preparation and the perfect cooking time, you can achieve mouthwatering perfection with your oven-roasted chicken. Say goodbye to tough and dry chicken forever!
