Ingredients
- one pound whole chicken
- 1 lemon
- 1 orange
- 1 lime
- 6 prigs rosemary
- 3-4 prigs sage
- 4 cloves garlic smashed flat
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Clean the chicken, then remove giblets and neck from cavity
- Salt the cavity of the bird, saving half of the salt for the outside of the bird later one.
- Add the garlic cloves to cavity
- Chop citrus and add to cavity
- Butter the outside skin of the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining salt on top.
- Using your fingers, gently separate the skin from the breast meat and place the herbs and some butter under the skin.
- Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting dish.
- Tie the legs together with the kitchen twine as show in the photos.
- Place the chicken in the 350 degrees F oven . Cook 20 minutes per pound. Calculate this AFTER the first 15 minutes of cooking.
- After 30 minutes begin basting the outside of the bird if desired with any drippings in the pan. You can baste it every 30 minutes until done.
- Chicken is cooked when an internal meat thermometer reads 185°F in the thigh area.
- Pull the chicken out of oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- If making a gravy from drippings, omit the orange and the lime and replace with a large white onion cut into quarters and place into the cavity.
