Excellent chicken! I roast whole chickens fairly often and I really enjoyed the flavor of this one. The combination of seasoning salt and cayenne is wonderful. (Next time I'll lessen the cayenne to about 1 1/2 t. because my family would prefer it a tiny bit less spicy.) The chicken skin was nice and crispy, while the meat was perfectly moist. Great recipe!

A very good and easy recipe. I used less butter and didn't measure the seasonings. I used more of the seasoning salt than the pepper. I didn't want to use too much pepper or my kids wouldn't eat it. I aslo used a whole cut-up chicken. I cooked it for 25 minutes at 450 degrees and 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Next time I'll cut the 400 degrees to 10 minutes and check it then.
