Prepare a marinade by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, and a special seasoning blend in a bowl.

Use kitchen shears to cut out the backbone of the chicken so it lays flat, which helps it cook faster.

Trim any excess skin or unwanted parts from the chicken.

Transfer the cleaned chicken into a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it.

Massage the marinade into every part of the chicken, including under the skin and in all crevices.

Transfer the marinated chicken into a baking tray.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Sprinkle more of the dry seasoning blend over the top of the chicken in the baking tray.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Once cooked, drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken before serving.
