The Colonel also had a Roasted chicken that was mighty tasty . The chicken was marinated also and then baked with his famous seasonings. The baking process was long it takes 4 hours to bake it. It is baked at 225 for 2 hours till the internal temp was at 175. But for you at home I have updated this to be baked at a higher temperature and be prepared in less time. But lower temp. is better, see sticky chicken link below for ideas.
