Total time: 1 h 35 min

Ingredients: 1 chicken, about 4 lb (1.8 kg); 1 tsp salt; 1 lemon, halved; 2 tbsp butter, melted; 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Note from Ricardo

For a super-crispy roast, cover the bird with salt, then use the lemon halves to rub the salt into the skin. Science alert: The lemon helps the salt dissolve to make a brine (basically a salt and water solution) that creates a moisture barrier so the skin stays crisp. And the meat underneath? Juicy!
