1.Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2.In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

3.Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.

4.Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor.

5.Stuff the cavity of the chicken with any leftover lemon halves and fresh herbs for added aroma.

6.Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the chicken moist during cooking.

7.Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear when pierced.

8.Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking to enhance the flavor and moisture.

9.Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

10.Serve the roasted chicken garnished with fresh herbs and enjoy with your favorite sides.
