Preheat the oven to 180-190°C (356-374°F).

Prepare a spice mix with 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of dill, 1 teaspoon of basil, 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of rosemary, and 1 heaping teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add salt to the spice mix to taste and let it sit for a while to integrate the flavors.

Pat the chicken dry and season it with salt and black pepper inside and out.

Brush the chicken with the prepared spice mix, ensuring it is well coated on all sides and inside the cavity.

Place sliced potatoes at the bottom of the roasting pan to serve as a base for the chicken.

Add the chicken on top of the potatoes in the roasting pan.

Cut and add the onion around the chicken in the pan.

Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, checking for doneness by piercing the chicken with a skewer; it should release clear juices when done.

Baste the chicken with the pan juices 2-3 times during cooking for moisture and flavor.
