What’s the best way to roast a whole chicken

Sure! Here are six different ways to roast a whole chicken:

**Classic Herb Butter**: Rub the chicken with a mix of softened butter, garlic, and fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then roast it at 375°F (190°C) until the skin is golden and crispy. Baste it a couple of times for extra flavor!

**Lemon and Garlic**: Stuff the cavity with halved lemons and whole garlic cloves. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for a juicy, flavorful bird.

**Beer Can Chicken**: Pop open a can of beer, take a few sips (or not!), and place it inside the chicken's cavity. Season the outside with your favorite spices and roast it upright on the grill or in the oven for a super moist and tasty chicken.

**Spatchcock Style**: Cut the backbone out of the chicken and flatten it out. This helps it cook evenly and faster. Season it well, then roast it at a high temperature (around 450°F or 230°C) for crispy skin and juicy meat.

**Sweet and Spicy Glaze**: Mix honey, soy sauce, and a bit of sriracha for a sweet and spicy glaze. Brush it over the chicken and roast at 375°F (190°C), basting occasionally. You'll get a delicious caramelized skin!
