Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps the skin to become crispy.

Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, then apply the spice mixture evenly, making sure to get some under the skin for extra flavor.

Add Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken. This will add moisture and flavor during cooking.
Cooking

Roast the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken breast-side up on a roasting pan or a baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier chicken.
