Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning it. This will help the seasoning adhere better to the skin.
• If you prefer a spicier chicken, you can add more Cajun seasoning or sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top.
• To ensure even cooking, truss the chicken by tying the legs together with kitchen twine.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the chicken, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the roast chicken with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
