Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, ensuring to get it underneath the skin for extra flavor.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub it in well.

Tuck the wings of the chicken in to prevent them from overcooking.

Pour melted butter over the chicken.

Place the chicken in a baking dish and put it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Once cooked, pour the pan sauce over the chicken before serving.
