Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the inside and outside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with lemon wedges, garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme sprigs. Truss the chicken with cooking twine.
- Prepare the Fry Pan: Create a bed of sliced onions, carrots, and celery in the fry pan. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Season the Chicken: Mix olive oil, paprika, and optional hot sauce. Brush this mixture over the chicken.
- Sear the Chicken: Sear the chicken on its sides in the fry pan to start cooking the legs.
- Roast the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Add potatoes around the chicken in the pan. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 135°F, then turn off the oven and let it sit until it reaches 165°F.
- Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 20-25 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted vegetables.
