Answers:
Well, the rosemary & sage & parsley are pretty classic for chicken!. I wouldn't use the others!. Just grind the herbs with some olive oil and then rub the mixture onto the bird!. Salt & pepper (or lemon pepper)
Do some roasted rosemary potatoes for a side!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wash your chicken and pat dry!. Mix chopped rosemary with butter and lemon zest!. Stuff under skin of breast and as much on the legs as you can!. In cavity, place rosemary sprigs, quartered lemons, and onion!. Season liberally with kosher salt and pepper!. Baste with a mixture of white wine or lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper!. Cover and bake for 1 to 11/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes!. During last 30 minutes, remove cover and let skin brown!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Hmm lets see do you have a lemon, lime or orange!? If you have one of the 3 cut in to quarters and use that as part of your flavoring for inside the bird!. Take the Basil leaves and insert them just under the skin of the bird as many as you can fit, it will give it such a nice flavor!. Rosemary works with the citrus inside the bird too!. also use the citrus your using to flavor the oil or butter you rub on the skin of the bird to brown and crisp the skin!. Parsley is great for the fat rub too!. Bake as you will and enjoy!. Its to hot here for me to bake or I would be doing the same thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the basics when roasting:
keep the chicken off the solid pan (a roasting rack or carrots/potatoes under the chicken, or aluminum foil crunched together to life the chicken off the pan)
a liquid fat to keep flavor and skin moist (some people use butter, others use olive oil) It doesn't take very much; for a chicken about 3 tbsp will prolly do it
a 1/2 cup of liquid - it could be broth, wine (for max flavor) or water, or juice!.!.!.up to you!.
then coat in your fresh herbs of choice! I, personally love cilantro with lime juice and olive oil!.
another that I've used is rosemary with cider vinegar and olive oil, with onions and carrots; and a tad of garlic powder,
