Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F/220 C. Place the oven rack at the lowest setting in the oven. Have ready a large baking tray or roasting tin.
  • Make the spice rub by combining the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to combine into a paste.
  • Coat the chicken completely with the spice rub. It's best to use your hands to coat the chicken entirely.
  • Place the chicken on the baking tray and roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. When the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F/75 C it is done.
  • Can be served hot, at room temperature or even cold.

Notes

It's recommended to baste the chicken half way through cooking with the pan juices.
If the chicken is browning too quickly, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the top.
To ensure the chicken has cooked to the correct temperature, use a meat thermometer.  Not essential, but it helps. 
If you are not using a meat thermometer, the chicken will be done when the juices run clear.
