• Rinse chicken and rub all over (inside and out) with steak seasoning.
• Place chicken on dish over roasting cup. If the wingtips are hanging beyond the edge of the dish, tuck them behind to prevent juices dripping in your oven. You can also put a cookie sheet or foil on the second oven rack below the one holding the chicken.
• Bake for 20 minutes per pound at 350°F.
• Cut into the joint between the leg and the body to make sure the meat is fully cooked. It should almost be falling off the bones, with a crispy skin all around.
• If the meat is done, take the chicken out of the oven, wrap in foil, and let it "rest" for at least 5 minutes before serving. This gives the juices time to redistribute and makes the meat really moist.
