Ingredients

1 whole chicken

1 whole lemon

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried oregano

Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions

• Prepare the chicken – Pat dry the chicken with paper towels.
• Make the seasoning mix – In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix until it forms a paste.
• Season the chicken – Rub the paste all over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated inside and out.
• Add the lemon inside – Take the whole lemon, prick it a few times with a knife, and place it inside the chicken cavity.
• Roast – Place the chicken in a baking dish and roast in the oven at 200°C (400°F) until golden and fully cooked (about 1 hour to 1h15, depending on the size).
• Serve – Let it rest for a few minutes before carving. I served mine with rice and steamed vegetables – but you can pair it with your favorite sides.
