Add the olive oil to the mortar and stir thoroughly to incorporate it into the herb paste.


Pat the chicken dry and rub the prepared paste generously over the entire surface, ensuring some is tucked beneath the skin for maximum flavor penetration.

Transfer the chicken to a platter, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 6 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.


Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting to allow it to come to room temperature for even cooking.
