In a small bowl, combine sweet paprika, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Take the chicken out of the refrigerator to bring it to room temperature. Wash it, dry it, you can cut off the neck and excess fat. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (top – bottom). Rub the chicken with the spice mixture (also inside). Put onions, rosemary, parsley, lemon in it and close it with a toothpick (or toothpicks). Using a brush, brush the chicken with melted butter. Place the carrots on the bottom of the baking dish. Place the chicken on its side on the carrot, make sure the chicken touches the pan as little as possible. Bake for 25 minutes, then turn over and bake again for 25 minutes. After this time, place the chicken breast side up on the carrot. Water it with its melted fat. Bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a boiling water for 10 minutes.
