1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2

Rinse the chicken well inside and out under cold running water and remove all fat. Pat it dry with paper towels.
3

Place the chicken in a small baking pan. Rub it with olive oil. Combine the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, paprika, and cayenne pepper, then sprinkle the mixture over the chicken.
4

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and continue roasting until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 40 minutes more. Let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.
