   Combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoning salt, mustard powder, and black pepper in a bowl; set aside.

3. 3

   Remove giblets from chicken cavity; rinse chicken thoroughly. Place chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons spice mixture in chicken cavity; rub remaining spice mixture on outside of chicken.
