Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Place the onion and minced garlic in the bottom of a roasting pan.
  3. Set the chicken, breast side up on the onions.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, 1/4 teaspoons of the granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoons of the black pepper and 1/4 teaspoons of the paprika on the chicken and in the cavity.
  5. Turn it over, breast side down, and sprinkle with the remaining spices.
  6. Cover the chicken with a lid or aluminum foil and set in the oven for 1 hour.
  7. After that hour, remove the cover and scatter the potatoes (if using) in the onions and cooking juice around the base of the chicken.
  8. Raise the oven temperature to 400 and continue roasting until skin begins to brown, 15-20 minutes.
  9. Using 2 large forks or a pair of tongs, turn chicken over so the breast is facing up and continue to roast for an additional 30 minutes, until the skin has browned and crisped.
  10. The potatoes should be fork tender.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting up the chicken to serve.
