For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning and roasting. You can also brush the chicken with melted butter or olive oil during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Add other aromatics to the cavity, such as garlic cloves, lemon slices, or sprigs of thyme, for a more complex flavor profile. If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil to prevent burning.
