Instructions

Creating Spicy Calabrian Chili Roasted Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine Calabrian chili paste, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
4. Apply Marinade: Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated both inside and out.
5. Let it Marinate: For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer if you have time.
6. Roast the Chicken: Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Baste Occasionally: If desired, baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking for extra moisture.
8. Rest the Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
9. Garnish: Serve with fresh rosemary sprigs for an aromatic touch.
