Pečené kuře (roast chicken with paprika and marjoram)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and pat it dry with kitchen paper.
2. Crush the garlic with the softened butter, paprika, marjoram, salt and pepper to make a paste.
3. Slide your fingers under the skin of the breast and thighs to spread half of the paste underneath, then smear the rest over the outside.
4. Cut the lemon and onions into wedges, put them inside the cavity of the chicken and place it in a dish with the peeled and chopped potatoes.
5. Roast for 60 to 70 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with the cooking juices, until the meat reaches 74 °C at the thickest part.
6. Let it rest for 10 minutes under a sheet of foil before carving and serve with the potatoes.
