INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat Oven
   • Set oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken

3. Season
   • Drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
   • Rub with salt, pepper, and paprika.
   • Scatter garlic cloves, the halved garlic head, and rosemary sprigs around the chicken.
   • Squeeze lemon juice over the top.
4. Roast
   • Roast in the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Serve
   • Spoon some of the roasted garlic and pan juices over the chicken before serving.
   • Pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes, salad, or steamed vegetables.
