• 2 T. light brown sugar
• 3 T. oil

Steps

1. Whole Chicken:
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Move oven rack to the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Combine sugar, spices and oil in a small dish; stir. Rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken breast side up on the baking sheet; rub oil and spice mixture over chicken.
3. Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. If chicken went into oven pretty cold from the refrigerator, it'll most likely take another 15 minutes or so. When the chicken is deeply golden brown and skin starts to look crispy, it's done.
