Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 3-4 lbs Whole chicken
- 1.5 tablespoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the giblets from the cavity of the chicken and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, ground black pepper, salt, and brown sugar.
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and rub it into the skin to help the spice blend adhere and create a crispy texture.
Slice the lemon in half. Place both halves, the rosemary sprigs, and the garlic cloves inside the cavity of the chicken.
Truss the chicken by tying the legs together with kitchen twine. This helps the chicken cook evenly and retain its shape.
Place the chicken breast-side up on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with pan drippings halfway through cooking to keep it moist.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Serve the Boston rotisserie-style chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
