1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the packaging and pat it dry with paper towels.
2
Season the Chicken
Rub the olive oil all over the chicken. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika evenly over the chicken, ensuring to coat it thoroughly.
3
Add Aromatics
Insert the fresh rosemary and halved lemon inside the cavity of the chicken for added flavor.
4
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 (74°C).
5
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
