- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 (4-pound) broiler-fryer chicken, cut in half lengthwise
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 3 -Transfer the spice mixture to a bowl.
Step 4 -Stir the paprika, the garlic powder, the flour, and the onion powder into the spice mixture.
Step 5 -Mix the vegetable oil into the spice mixture until a smooth paste forms.

Step 7 -Brush the spice paste onto the chicken halves, coating all the sides and seasoning under the wings and the legs.
Step 8 -Place the chicken halves, skin-side up, in a baking dish or roasting pan; leaving space so the halves aren't touching.
Step 9 -Roast the chicken halves until the thighs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, about 1 hour.
Step 10 -Transfer from the oven and let the chicken halves rest for 10 minutes.
Step 11 -Serve.
