Place the chicken on a roasting pan, breast side up.

Arrange chopped carrots, potatoes, and celery around the chicken.

Sprinkle paprika over the vegetables for extra flavor.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Let the chicken rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Serve with roasted vegetables on the side.
