Equipment

  • Roasting pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion flakes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 4 to 5 pound whole chicken

Instructions
 

  • Start by rinsing the chicken under cold water. Remove any giblets if present. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up nicely.
  • In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, smoked paprika, garlic granules, oregano, cumin, onion flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well until it forms a paste.
  • Using your hands, rub the spice mix all over the chicken. Ensure you get under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor. This is where the magic happens.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat juicy.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices: Fresh spices have more flavor, so ensure yours are current for the best taste.
  • Plan ahead: Marinating the chicken hours prior, or even a night before can enhance flavor.
  • Don't peek: Avoid opening the oven too often; every time you do, heat escapes, which can affect cooking time.
  • Use a meat thermometer: This ensures your chicken is cooked to perfection.
  • Experiment with flavors: Feel free to swap in your favorite spices to personalize the recipe.
