Orange and Rosemary Chicken

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Rinse chicken inside and out, then pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Cut orange in half. Rub the chicken with one half of the orange.
4. On a large plate, mix together garlic and paprika, then roll the chicken in the mixture.
5. Slice the remaining half orange and stuff inside chicken along with rosemary. Place chicken on a rack in a roasting pan or on a chicken stand sitting in a baking dish.
6. Place chicken, uncovered, into oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F. Total baking time should be approximately 20 minutes per pound of chicken, or until juices run clear.
7. Remove chicken from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before cutting it.
