3. 3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. 4. Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, making sure to cover the entire surface.
5. 5. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.

For extra flavor, try stuffing the chicken cavity with aromatics like lemon, garlic, or fresh herbs. Baste the chicken with the pan juices during roasting for an extra-crispy skin.
