Instructions

Wash and pat dry the chicken thoroughly. Rub the chicken inside and out with melted butter (or avocado oil), then apply the minced garlic and all the spices. Sprinkle with extra paprika and dried rosemary. Leave the chicken to marinate for at least an hour, or preferably overnight.

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan or a large ovenproof skillet. Roast for 1 hour, then baste the chicken with the pan juices and roast for another 5 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. 

*P.S. For a side, you can place carrots in the pan with the chicken 20 minutes before it's done cooking; they will cook in the chicken juice.
