Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.

Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin for extra flavor.

Add Rosemary
Place the fresh rosemary inside the cavity of the chicken. This will help infuse the chicken with flavor during cooking.

Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken breast side up in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Carve and serve.
