Start by introducing the whole chicken for the recipe.

Prepare a marinade by mixing 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, chopped onion, and 2 cloves of garlic in a bowl.

Add mustard paste, food color, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes to the marinade.

Rub the marinade thoroughly over the whole chicken, ensuring it gets into the cuts of the chicken for better flavor.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and add some butter on top to prevent it from drying out.

Bake the chicken in the oven, checking the temperature to ensure it stays consistent.

After some time, baste the chicken with melted butter to keep it moist.

Continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
