Start by cooking down cured chorizo in a little olive oil to release its flavors.

Add chopped onions to the chorizo and cook until they change color and soak up the flavors.

Add garlic and fresh thyme to the mixture.

Drain cannellini beans and add them to the stuffing mixture, seasoning well.

Incorporate half-dried tomatoes into the stuffing for sweetness.

Stuff the chicken with the prepared stuffing, pushing it down to fill the cavity.

Insert a large lemon into the chicken cavity.

Rub olive oil over the chicken skin, season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle paprika on top.

Pour 400ml of white wine and the same amount of water into the roasting tray to help steam the chicken.

Cover the roasting tray tightly with foil and roast in the oven at 180°C for one hour.

Remove the foil and roast for an additional 30 minutes to crisp the skin.

Pierce the chicken to release the juices and mix them with the roasting juices in the tray.

Remove the stuffing before carving the chicken.
