Creating the perfect Spicy Calabrian Chili Roasted Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix Calabrian chili paste, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
3. Marinate Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it gets underneath the skin for maximum flavor. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
4. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Place the quartered onion and assorted vegetables in a roasting pan.
5. Place Chicken: Position the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.
6. Roast: Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 45-50 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Baste (Optional): Halfway through cooking, you can baste the chicken with the juices in the pan for added moisture and flavor.
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken for a fresh touch.
10. Serve: Carve the chicken and serve it alongside the roasted vegetables, drizzled with the pan juices.
