Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pound (2kg) whole chicken, at room temperature giblets and neck removed from cavity*
1/4 cup unsalted butter, (melted)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup white wine, ((OPTIONAL) -- use a dry wine like a Sauv blanc or Chardonnay)
1 lemon, (halved)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, (to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
4 garlic cloves, (minced)
1 head of garlic roughly peeled and cut in half horizontally (through the middle crosswise)
3 fresh whole rosemary sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 430°F | 220°C (400°F or 200°C fan forced). Line a baking tray with foil, or lightly grease a roasting pan.
  • Discard neck from inside the cavity and remove any excess fat and leftover feathers. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Pour the olive oil, melted butter, wine (if using) and the juice of half a lemon over the chicken, under the skin and inside the cavity. Season chicken liberally on the outside and inside the cavity with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the parsley.
  • Rub the minced garlic over the chicken, mixing all ingredients together over the chicken and under the skin.
  • Stuff the garlic head into the chicken cavity along with the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon halve. Tie legs together with kitchen string.
  • Place breast-side up into baking tray or roasting pan. Roast for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, basting half way through cooking time, until juices run clear when chicken thigh is pierced with a skewer.
  • Baste again, then broil for a further 2-3 minutes, until golden.
  • Remove from the oven, cover with foil and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve, drizzled with pan juices and remaining lemon half cut into wedges or slices.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even ¾-inch thickness)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper (or ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper)
½ cup butter (slightly softened)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or finely chopped fresh basil)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475.
  • Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil.
  • Add the chicken and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until browned (but not cooked through).
  • Transfer browned chicken to preheated oven (if not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer chicken to a greased baking dish first). Bake chicken for about 15 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should read 165 degrees).
  • In a small bowl combine butter, garlic powder, minced garlic, and fresh herbs (see notes for using dried herbs) and mash/mix with a fork until combined.
  • When chicken is finished cooking, immediately top with a hearty spoonful of the garlic butter mixture. Allow it to melt over the chicken for a minute or two before slicing chicken. Enjoy!

ROAST CHICKEN WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Roast Chicken with Garlic-Herb Butter image

When making roast chicken, the key to getting crispy, golden skin is to season your bird in advance and leave it in the fridge overnight. The chicken roasts directly on top of a baguette, which absorbs the pan drippings for a side as tasty as the main event.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 3½?4½ lb. whole chicken, about 1.6?2 kg
1 rib celery
1 small onion
1 small carrot
1 day-old baguette, sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup water or chicken stock

Steps:

  • The day before roasting, combine butter in a bowl with zest of one lemon (reserving the lemon), garlic, chives, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Dry the chicken with paper towels and place on a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Season chicken with salt and pepper, inside and out. Using your fingers, gently release the skin from the breast on either side of the breast bone. Place a heaping tablespoon of the compound butter under the skin on each side and smooth down to coat each breast. Do the same at the other end, where the thigh joins the open cavity. Distribute the remaining butter on each side under the leg skin. Place chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered, to allow the skin to dry.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Roughly chop the celery, onion, and carrot and place inside the chicken cavity, along with leftover herb stems and half the zested lemon. Cut the baguette to approximately the length of the chicken and place, open-faced, on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay the chicken on top of it. Pour water or chicken stock in the pan so the bread doesn't burn. Bake, 10-12 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, chicken will begin to brown. Add more water or stock to the pan if the bread looks too dark. Reduce oven temp to 400 F and continue cooking, 35-55 minutes, depending on chicken size. (Final internal temperature should be 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the thigh.)
  • Test the chicken for doneness by sticking a knife into the thickest part of the thigh-the juices should run clear (i.e., not pink). When done, remove from oven and let the chicken rest 5 minutes before carving. To carve, first remove the wings. Next, cut the skin close to the leg, then cut from the back and follow the bone along the joint and remove the leg. Remove the breasts by cutting down the middle, following the bone (save the rest of the chicken carcass for stock). Cut the baguette into four pieces and serve with the cut chicken on top.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a whole chicken that weighs between 3 and 4 pounds.
  • Make sure to pat the chicken dry before applying the rub. This will help the rub adhere to the chicken and create a crispy skin.
  • Use a generous amount of rub on the chicken. This will help to flavor the chicken throughout.
  • If you don't have a beer can, you can use a soda can instead.
  • Place the chicken on a baking sheet or roasting pan before cooking. This will help to catch any drippings.
  • Cook the chicken at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes. This will help to brown the skin and seal in the juices.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to cook the chicken for another 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
