Method
-
Pat the whole chicken dry. Mix the olive oil with the sweet paprika, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt and black pepper; rub all over the chicken.
-
Squeeze half the lemon over the chicken and place the other half in the cavity. Tie the legs if needed.
-
Check that the chicken fits with space around it and without touching the heating element.
-
Preheat to 180°C and place breast-side down. Cook for 25 minutes.
-
Turn carefully and cook for another 20-30 minutes. Check for at least 74°C in the thickest parts of the breast and both thighs without touching bone; if needed, continue in 5-minute intervals. Rest for 10 minutes before carving and remove the lemon from the cavity.
