Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the chicken.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels. This helps to crisp up the skin.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure to coat the cavity as well.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Lemon and Rosemary

    Cut the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken along with the fresh rosemary sprigs.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. If using, arrange the vegetables around the chicken and pour chicken broth over them. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 6

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat moist.
