Lemon and Orange Baked Chicken

Ingredients
6-7 pound whole chicken
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
2 lemons
1 orange
1 cup of olive oil

Preparation
Pre-heat oven at 350
Sprinkle dry ingredients on top of the chicken.
Squeeze lemon and orange all over chicken and inside the cavity.
Put the squeezed lemons and orange skins into the cavity of the chicken.
Put chicken in a baking pan with olive oil.
Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until there is no pink when cutting into the leg of the chicken.

Testing for pink in the leg of the chicken is a true marker that the chicken is done. The legs of poultry are the fattest part of the body and takes the longest to cook.
