  1. 1

    Preparation

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using BBQ sauce, prepare it or set it aside.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, then season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Roasting the Chicken

    Place the chicken on a roasting pan, breast side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Applying BBQ Sauce (Optional)

    If using BBQ sauce, brush it generously over the chicken during the last 15 minutes of roasting.

  5. 5

    Resting

    Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Carve the chicken and serve it warm, with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
