A flavorful and aromatic roast chicken inspired by Caribbean flavors, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Rub the chicken all over with the juice of one lemon, then place the squeezed lemon halves inside the cavity.
This step adds a zesty flavor to the chicken and keeps it moist.
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, ensuring even coverage.
Use your hands to rub the seasoning into the skin for better adhesion.
In a small bowl, mix the butter, minced garlic, ground coriander, and smoked paprika. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken.
Ensure the butter mixture covers all parts of the chicken for maximum flavor.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
This initial high heat helps to crisp the skin.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue roasting until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the chicken.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat juicier.
