Mix sea salt (coarse), paprika, butter, garlic, pepper. Rub the whole chicken with it. Cut the lemon in two halves and put them inside the chicken. Cover it and leave it in the fridge overnight.
Ask a question about this stepThe next day, take the chicken out of the fridge; add two spoons of extra virgin olive oil. Preheat the oven at 350 F. Roast the chicken for 2 hours (every 45 minutes turn the chicken over – after 1.5 hr. remove the lemon from its inside).
