Pat the chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels — dry skin is essential for browning. Rub the spice paste all over the outside of the chicken, working it under the breast skin where possible. Stuff the cavity with the lemon halves, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme sprigs. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wing tips behind the back.
