Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken, including under the skin.
💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
2
Put the lemon into the cavity of the chicken.
3
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
4
Scatter the onion over the bottom of the pan.

7
Bake uncovered 60–75 minutes, until the skin is browned and blistered in spots and the juices run clear.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
8
Take out the chicken and let it rest 10 minutes, and only then carve.
