Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken halves, ensuring they are well coated.

Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken halves in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
