A great way to infuse chicken with flavor?
Stuff seasonings right underneath the skin.

That way as the chicken cooks, it bathes the meat in the flavor of the seasonings.
The recipe comes (barely adapted) from Jamie Oliver, in his wonderful bookNaked Chef.
Rub salt over the inside of the cavity.

Grasp the skin at the tip of the chicken breast and gently pull up.

Rub olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.

Starting off by cooking the chicken this way will help brown the breasts.
Then turn the chicken over so that it is breast-side up.
