Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.03 kg before cooking, which is about 205 g per serving.
Steps
Pat the chicken dry. Make shallow slits in the thickest parts of each piece.
Combine the olive oil, paprika, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, chili flakes, dried parsley, curry powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and chicken bouillon.
Rub the seasoning mixture thoroughly over the chicken, including underneath the skin.
Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C) (200°C (400 °F)).
Arrange the chicken in a baking dish. Add the sliced butter and sliced garlic around it.
Roast uncovered on the middle rack for 45–55 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
If using lemon wheels, add them during the final 5 minutes of roasting.
Rest the chicken for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Adjust the salt carefully because the lemon pepper seasoning and chicken bouillon already contain salt. The source does not quantify the chicken bouillon, salt, or optional lemon wheels.
