Ingredients
- 4 pounds whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 6 whole garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, and place it in a large roasting pan.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken, ensuring it covers all sides evenly.
Step 4
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one half over the chicken and place both halves inside the cavity of the chicken.
Step 5
Stuff the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs into the chicken cavity along with the lemon halves.
Step 6
Smash the garlic cloves slightly to release their flavor, and add them to the cavity.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the chicken skin.
Step 8
Ensure the chicken is placed breast side up in the roasting pan.
Step 9
Cover the pan with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Slow roast for 2 hours.
Step 10
After 2 hours, remove the foil to allow the skin to crisp up.
Step 11
Continue roasting the chicken uncovered for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
Step 12
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
Step 13
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb slow-roasted chicken!
