A whole chicken is seasoned with a sweet and savory dry spice rub made with allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. This combination of unique ingredients makes this chicken dish delicious! It does need to marinate in the fridge for 24 hours, but it roasts beautifully and surprisingly fast once in the oven.

Ingredients

  • salt: 2 tsp
  • white sugar: 1 tsp
  • ground cloves: 0.125 tsp
  • ground allspice: 0.125 tsp
  • ground nutmeg: 0.125 tsp
  • ground cinnamon: 0.125 tsp
  • whole chicken: 1 piece (4 pound)
  • garlic: 5 clove (crushed)

  4. Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and continue roasting for 15 minutes more. Baste chicken with pan drippings; reduce heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and continue roasting for 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
