Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Prepare the chicken by patting it dry with paper towels. Rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil all over the chicken, including under the skin where possible, for maximum flavor.
Season the chicken inside and out with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stuff the cavity with the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and half of the lemon.
Place the chicken breast-side up in the center of a large roasting pan.
In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, red onion, and zucchini with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a small pinch of black pepper.
Arrange the vegetables around the chicken in the pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the vegetables and chicken for a fresh burst of citrus flavor.
Pour the chicken broth into the pan (around the vegetables, not directly on them or the chicken) to help prevent sticking and to add moisture.
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the thickest part of the chicken thigh registers 165Β°F (75Β°C) on a meat thermometer, and the vegetables are tender and golden.
Baste the chicken with pan juices every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Serve the carved chicken with the roasted vegetables and crispy potatoes, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
