| 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. | 2. Rinse chicken with cool water, inside and out - then pat dry with paper towels. | 3. Combine the cinnamon stick, cloves, cayenne, cumin, fennel, coriander and paprika in a dry skillet over low heat and toast for a minute - just to release the fragrant oils - shake pan so spices don't scorch. | 4. In a clean coffee grinder, grind the toasted spices together with the sea salt and brown sugar. | 5. Massage the chicken skin with the spice rub, making sure you don't miss any spots. | 6. Season the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper. | 7. Stuff the lemon halves, cilantro and garlic into the cavity of the chicken. | 8. Place the chicken into a roasting pan, fitted with a rack, and fold the wing tips under the chicken and tie the legs together with kitchen string. | 9. Drizzle oil all over chicken. If you have the time, let the chicken sit for 30 minutes to really let the flavors meld into the chicken. | 10. Roast the chicken for one hour, then check with an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh - if it reads 160 degrees F, then it's done! | 11. Take the chicken out of the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before carving - so the juices can settle back into the meat. | 12. Squeeze the lemon halves that have cooked inside the chicken over the meat for added wow. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
