Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    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 maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

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

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with your choice of 2 side fixins’.
