  4. thyme - 1 sprig (a sprig, for the cavity)
  5. shallot - 1 (or onion, for the cavity)
  6. garlic - to taste (crushed, for the cavity)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).

  3. Season the chicken: Season the chicken generously with salt, ensuring even distribution.
