Zesty Lemon-Roasted Chicken
Ingredients List
-
cooking spray
-
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
-
2 tablespoons salt
-
1 lemon, halved
-
1 tablespoon paprika
-
1 cup water
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
-
Season the chicken by rubbing salt on the inside and outside. Squeeze the juice from lemon halves over the chicken's exterior, then sprinkle paprika all over. Place the lemon halves inside the chicken's cavity and set the chicken in the prepared dish. Add water to the dish to keep the chicken moist during baking.
-
Roast in the preheated oven, basting with water occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink near the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 hours. To ensure it's fully cooked, check with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh; it should register at least 165°F (74°C).
