Lemon Herb Roast Chicken
A perfectly golden roast chicken rubbed with herb butter and stuffed with lemon and garlic. Loosening the skin over the breast and pushing herb butter directly underneath before roasting is what bastes the meat from the inside as it cooks, keeping it moist under crisp, golden skin.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C. Mix softened butter with minced garlic, lemon zest, thyme and rosemary. Season.
Gently loosen the skin over the chicken breast and push herb butter underneath.
Rub remaining butter over the outside. Season all over.
Stuff the cavity with lemon halves and whole garlic cloves.
Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes until juices run clear when the thigh is pierced. Rest 15 minutes before carving.
