Cut a piece of kitchen twine and tie the legs and wings up if you prefer.
Spread the melted Homemade Garlic Butter all over the chicken.
Sprinkle the seasoning salt evenly over the whole chicken.
Add the chicken breast-side up into the dutch oven.
Cook the chicken for one hour uncovered, then cover and continue to to cook another 60 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Turn the broiler on and allow the chicken to cook until golden brown for 2 minutes. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes with the lid (or aluminum foil) on before carving.
Serve.
Notes
Always use a thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the chicken while it's cooking and do not rely on visuals alone. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
