Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the Chicken
Remove the chicken from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the skin to become crispy when roasted.
- 3
Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.

Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken on a roasting rack 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 the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
