Roasted Chicken

Method

Preparation

1

Preparing the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin and inside the cavity.

2

Roasting the Chicken

Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking.
