Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons Calabrian chili paste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 whole lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey

- Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 50-55 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
