Sometimes the easiest suppers are the tastiest ones. This chicken takes minutes to prepare, you can put it your oven and forget about it for five hours, and come home to a delicious, moist, flavorful roasted chicken. 8 PM- More Taste, Less Fuss

1 tablespoon Gefen Paprika
1 teaspoon Gefen Onion Powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon Gefen Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic with the top trimmed off, to expose the tops of the garlic cloves
1 whole chicken
Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rinse and clean the chicken; pat dry.
In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.

Be careful with bugs My opinion is that you should probably peel the lemon first because of possible bugs on the peel
Whole Lemon Garlic Chicken 5 hours @ 250F seems awfully long to roast a chicken. Please confirm your procedure is correct (before I ruin the chicken).
Looks amazing going to make it this shabbat…. No olive oil or anything to baste just the spices ?
Just the spices- the chicken will release a lot of juices once it starts to cook.
Excellent! Have made this half a dozen times now! My go to busy day, Shabbat eve meal
Excellent! Have made this half a dozen times now!
Really delicious This method and recipe worked beautifully, everyone really liked it!
We are so happy that you and your guests enjoyed this chicken!
That can’t be right! Haven’t tried it because 250 degrees for five hours would burn it to cinders surely? Would like to cook it please adjust? Thanks
Surely it’s 250 Fahrenheit, not Celsius. That would be 120 Celsius app which would mean 100 Celsius using the fan.
