  Preheat oven to 200C. Pat chicken dry and season with salt. Place on wire rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Add 1 cup (250ml) water to pan, squeeze in orange juice, then add squeezed oranges, cut-side up, to rack. Roast for 20 minutes or until light golden. Combine butter, garlic and paprika. Remove chicken from oven and brush with butter mixture. Reduce oven to 160°C. Roast for a further 45 minutes or until cooked through. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes.
