Roast Chicken With Rosemary-Orange Butter image

Delicious roast chicken dish from Bon Appetit. The recipe doesn't call for garlic, but I add garlic to everything. I usually quarter the orange after I zest it and put it in the cavity for a little more citrus flavor. The sauce is subtle but good.

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 shallots
6 tablespoons butter (3/4 stick)
4 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
1 tablespoon orange peel, grated
7 lbs roasting chickens, neck and heart reserved
