I've got two basic chickens in the fridge (cooked with just oil, salt, pepper, allspice and fresh thyme, with potatoes and onions underneath), and another couple chickens in the oven (stuffed with fresh oranges and mildly smushed hot red chiles, cloves, star anise, and dried lavender, then rubbed with a paste made of cassia cinnamon, saffron, ginger, allspice, salt, and walnut oil, baking with potatoes and onions mixed with olive oil, salt, fennel seed, and pink peppercorns.)

(I have this thing about spices, see.)
