1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
ROASTER
2 tablespoons olive oil or rosemary-flavored olive oil
1 cup water, or as needed

Instructions 

Position oven rack so top of chicken is just above middle of oven. Preheat oven to 475°F. Lightly coat large roasting pan (about 16”x12”x3”) with cooking spray. Make certain pan is large enough to provide space around chicken.

Roast chicken for 30 minutes.

Reduce temperature to 375°F. Continue to roast, basting occasionally and adding water as needed, for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or until pop-up timer pops up and thermometer registers 180°F. The juices should run clear with no hint of pink in meat.

During last 20 minutes, drizzle chicken with raspberry vinegar.

Remove chicken from oven and let stand for about 10 minutes.
