Roasted Italian Herb Chicken

This is one of the easiest recipes to make and a great way to break up the monotony of chicken for dinner. Think rotisserie chicken without the mystery of what your purchased rotisserie chicken was actually cooked with. (Just think! Eeew! It may have even been injected with a processed substance you would NEVER use!)
