Oven RoastedChicken

👩🏻 Home Recipe 🍳

Occasion & Servings: dinner, serves 4

Ingredients:

• whole chicken, about 5lbs

• butter

• seasonings of choice - I used salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder, dried rosemary, and dried parsley

Detailed Steps:

• preheat oven to 425°

• pat chicken dry all over with paper towels (to get crispy skin!)

• take about 1/2 a stick of butter and soften

• add seasonings of choice to butter and mix - I didn’t measure anything but I’d say about 1tsp of each

• take the handle of a cooking utensil (or hands if preferred!) and separate the skin from the breasts to create a pocket

• take half of the butter and put it under the skin, spreading it around as well as possible

• use remaining butter on outside of the chicken

• bake uncovered at 425° for 15 minutes per pound of chicken (my 5.27lb chicken took an hour and 20 minutes!)

Additional tips/notes: Allow the chicken to rest for about 15-20 minutes after coming out of the oven. Serve with whatever sides you like! I roasted root vegetables.
