Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the giblets from the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place the chicken in a bundt pan or roasting pan, allowing the juices to drip down and flavor it evenly.
Step 2: Make the Buttery Citrus Sauce
- In a bowl, mix together melted butter, orange juice, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
- Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken
- Slowly pour the buttery citrus sauce over the chicken, ensuring it seeps inside and coats the skin evenly.
- Rub the mixture into the chicken to enhance the flavor.
Step 4: Stuff & Roast
- Stuff the chicken cavity with lemon and orange slices for extra flavor.
- Drizzle olive oil over the skin to help achieve a crispy texture.
- Roast the chicken for about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part.
- Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking for added moisture.
Step 5: Rest & Serve
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Why This Recipe Works
