Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole chicken
compound butter ingredients:
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary,chopped
4 Tbsp butter, softened
1/4 tsp each salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 Tbsp finely minced garlic( i use from a jar all ready minced)
1 tsp dried parsley
stuffing ingredients for chicken:
1 bunch small bunch of fresh herbs of your liking, i used oregano and rosemary
1 medium citrus fruit of your liking, i used a lime today
2 clove garlic, you can just peel them and insert them in.
1 medium onion, peeled and halved

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse chicken and remove giblets. At this point I put the giblets in a small sauce pot, add water, and use the giblets and juice for dressing.
  • 2. In the cavity of the chicken stuff the stuffing ingredients.
  • 3. Make the compound butter by combining all compound butter ingredients.
  • 4. Run your hand under the skin of the chicken all over the breast portion to loosen it enough to get the butter under it. I use gloves for this part.
  • 5. Divide the compound butter up in portions that you like, I usually use a fourth. Insert the butter with your hand, then smash the skin a little to spread the butter out.
  • 6. Bake the chicken in a pre heated 350° until it tests done, and is golden and crispy. this cooked for 1 hour 45 minutes and was pefect.
  • 7. let chicken sit for 10 minutes before carving to give juices a chance to redistribute.
