Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the chicken on a large cutting board.
- In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with a fork. Add the seasonings and mix well to combine.
- Rub the butter mixture all over the chicken, both on the outside of the chicken and underneath the skin of the breast.
- Tuck the chicken wings underneath the breast, then tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine.
- Place the chicken on a rack set in a large roasting pan. Roast for 80-90 minutes, basting the chicken with pan juices every 20 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F. Tent the chicken with a large piece of foil if necessary to keep the skin from burning.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Notes
- Storage: Store rotisserie chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Be sure to properly prepare the chicken for the most even cook. Tuck the wings and tie the legs.
- Baste often. This chicken is cooking at a high temperature to crisp the skin, so it is crucial that you reintroduce moisture often to keep it from drying out.
- Use an instant-read thermometer, and check the chicken often. As soon as the thighs register 165°F, remove the chicken from the oven to prevent overcooking.
- Kill two birds with one stone by placing rough-chopped vegetables under the chicken in the roasting pan. This will infuse the veggies with delicious chicken drippings!
- Save the bones from the chicken to make homemade chicken stock.
- To reheat, place the entire chicken into a baking pan filled with 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth. Cover with foil and roast in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until 165°F internally.
