Ingredients
- 1 approximately 4 pounds Whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 halved Lemon
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 5 cloves, crushed Garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Remove any giblets from the chicken cavity and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Don't forget to rub some under the skin for more flavor.
Step 5
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon inside the cavity, and then place the lemon halves, fresh rosemary, and crushed garlic cloves inside.
Step 6
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine to help it cook evenly.
Step 7
Place the chicken breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
Step 8
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender.
Step 10
Slice the chicken and serve with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
