Smoked Paprika Roast Chicken
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

  2. Pat the chicken dry thoroughly with paper towels.

  3. Mix together the paprika, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread over the entire surface of the chicken and place the chicken in a shallow baking pan.

  4. In a small pot, heat the honey and lemon juice until the honey fully dissolves. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  5. Bake for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Baste with the lemon-honey mixture after 35 minutes, and then every 15 minutes after that. You may need to adjust total cooking time depending on how big your chicken is. The bird is done when the juices run clear (not pink) when a knife tip is inserted into both the chicken breast and thigh, about 165°F. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
