Dry your chicken completely with paper towels and place it, breast side-up, on a cooling rack fitted in a baking sheet. Season generously all over and inside the cavity with salt. Tuck the wings under and tie the legs together. Refrigerate, uncovered, overnight. The next day, let your chicken come to temperature for an hour and heat the oven to 425°F. Roast the chicken until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F, about 1 hour. Rest the chicken 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
