 Cook's Note: If you plan to serve the chicken cut into serving pieces


 rather than cutting it up and using it in other dishes, sprinkle the top of


 the chicken with seasoned salt, such as Lawry's, to give it more color.

 of the opening to the interior cavity.  Wash chicken with cold water and

 chicken with salt and pepper to taste.  Scatter sprigs of thyme around
