Poulet Rôti (French Roast Chicken)

Simple but perfect French-style roast chicken, rubbed with thyme butter and finished with a proper pan jus. Pushing herb butter directly under the skin before roasting is what bastes the meat continuously from the inside, keeping it moist while the skin crisps separately on top.
