Rub the chicken with olive oil, making sure it’s evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon zest (if using).

(Optional) Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the quartered lemon for extra flavor.
Place the chicken breast-side up in a baking dish or on a roasting rack.
Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the chicken.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Slice and serve with your favorite side dishes.
