Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

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

2. Season the Chicken

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

3. Add Olive Oil and Herbs

Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned chicken, then sprinkle fresh rosemary on top. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the chicken.

4. Prepare Vegetables

Chop the carrots, potatoes, and onion into large chunks. Place them in a roasting pan around the chicken.

5. Add Remaining Lemon

Cut the remaining half of the lemon into wedges and place them inside the cavity of the chicken.

6. Roast the Chicken

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

7. Rest and Serve

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted vegetables.
