1
Wash and pat dry the whole chicken.
2
Mix together Cajun seasoning, paprika, chilli powder, garlic and herb seasoning, onion powder, salt and pepper, then drizzle in cooking oil to create a flavorful paste.
3
Generously distribute the spice paste all over the chicken, working it into the cavity and every crevice, massaging it thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
4
Let the seasoned chicken rest and marinate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.
5
Preheat the oven to 350°F (approximately 175°C).
6
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, basting with the pan juices midway through cooking to keep it moist.
7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
