A whole roasted chicken is one of my favorite family dinners. Stuffed with lemon and fresh herbs and rubbed in herb and garlic butter. Get the most tender and juicy chicken with this delicious recipe.
Loosen the skin of the chicken using a spoon.Rub the herb butter mixture all over the chicken, both on the outside of the chicken and underneath the skin.
Tuck the chicken wings underneath then stuff chicken cavity with the rosemary and thyme sprigs, onion and lemon. Tie the chicken legs together with twine.
Place chicken in a roasting pan and cook for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with foil & rest for 10 – 15 minutes before carving. Serve with the pan drippings or gravy.
