Cover the chicken with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 2 hours. Remove the foil halfway through the baking time to allow the skin to brown and crisp up. Baste the chicken frequently with pan juices during the baking process. (90-120 minutes)

Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Garnish with the reserved lemon half.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the olive oil before rubbing it on the chicken.
If the chicken skin starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil again until the end of the baking time.
To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
