Ingredients
- 4-5 pound chicken whole roasting
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1 Tablespoon rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1 Tablespoon thyme chopped fresh
- 1 Tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon halved
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine butter, rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt pepper, and the juice from half of a lemon.
- Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Rub butter mixture all over chicken to coat. Place lemon half and any remaining fresh herbs in the cavity of the chicken.
- In a 375 degree oven, cook the chicken for 20-25 minutes per pound or until an instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Notes
- This roasted chicken recipe makes enough to serve 6 people for a meal. If you’re cooking for a crowd or want more leftovers, feel free to double the recipe. Use an 8 – 10 lb chicken and adjust the cooking times accordingly.
- I tied the chicken legs together with cooking twine. This is more for aesthetics than anything. It’s completely optional and the chicken tastes just as good without the twine.
- You can also use a frozen whole chicken for this recipe! You’ll need to add about 50% more cooking time if you cook from frozen; or allow the chicken to thaw and proceed with the recipe as directed.
