Bake in upper third of oven at 475 degrees F for 25 minutes
Pour off any accumulated juices and rotate the pan 180 degrees F to ensure even browning
Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and move the chicken to the middle rack of the oven
Continue to roast until the juices run clear when you pierce the thigh meat with a knife and the chicken is almost a mahogany color and the drumstick moves easily (approximately 30 minutes longer)
