Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Melt butter and mix in salt, pepper and herbs
  3. Loosen skin on your chicken, rub the butter/herb mixture in between the skin and the meat. If using a whole chicken rub mixture inside the chicken, covering as much of the chicken as you can.
  4. Set in a baking or roasting pan.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  6. Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.
