1: The night before, create your dry brine using salt and chopped herbs. Place the chicken on an elevated roasting dish.
2: Remove the giblets and pat dry the chicken. Leave uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.
3: The next day, pull the chicken out of the refrigerator one hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
4: Prepare all of your produce and line it in the bottom of the roasting dish.
5: Create your compound butter using chopped rosemary and lather it generously over the entire chicken.
6: Fill the cavity of the chicken with aromatic herbs, lemon, onion, celery, and carrots.
7: Roast at 425°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F-175°F.
8: Add dry white wine halfway through cooking and occasionally baste the chicken with the cooking liquids.
9: Allow the chicken to rest undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
