Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

⅓ cup Gay Lea Spreadables Butter, Cinnamon & Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
1 pound baby potatoes
2 large carrots, scrubbed and sliced
2 large parsnips, scrubbed and sliced
2 green onions, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Blend Spreadables butter with ginger, lemon zest, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined; set aside.
  • Place chicken, back-side-up, with neck facing away on a cutting board. Use a chef's knife or poultry shears to cut along each side of the backbone. Remove and discard backbone. Turn chicken over; turn legs drumsticks-inward and press on breastbone to flatten. Place chicken, cut-side-down in a roasting pan.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons (45 mL) butter mixture; toss with potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and green onions. Scatter around chicken.
  • Carefully loosen skin over breast meat, legs, and thighs using fingertips. Spread remaining butter mixture evenly under and over skin of chicken.
  • Roast, basting occasionally, for 60 to 75 minutes (or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F/74 degrees C in thigh and breast meat).
  • Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Carve chicken into portions and serve with vegetables.
