Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Chicken
Remove the whole chicken from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure crispy skin.

Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin if possible.

Add Fresh Herbs and Lemon
Place the fresh herbs and the halved lemon inside the cavity of the chicken for added flavor.

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 done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve hot.
