GARLIC HERB BUTTER ROAST CHICKEN

by | Aug 25, 2021

This roasted chicken recipe is a recent favorite in our house. The bright, satisfying flavors of garlic, lemon, and parsley create a tender chicken that tastes delicious straight out of the oven or as leftovers on salad. Despite the longer cooking time, this recipe is mostly hands-off, perfect for a weekend or if you’re working from home.

Garlic Herb Butter Roast Chicken

Servings: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients
4 pound whole chicken
¼ cup unsalted butter melted
3 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar or white wine
1 lemon halved
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 head of garlic, roughly peeled and cut in half horizontally through the middle
3 fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Discard the chicken gizzards and neck from inside the cavity and remove any excess fat (leave skin on). Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Pour the olive oil, melted butter, white wine vinegar, and the juice of half a lemon over the chicken, under the skin, and inside the cavity. Season chicken liberally with sea salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the parsley.
  4. Rub the minced garlic over the skin.
  5. Stuff the garlic head, rosemary sprigs, and squeezed lemon half into the cavity of the chicken.
  6. Place breast-side up into a baking tray or roasting pan. Roast for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, basting half way through. Cook to a temperature of 165 degrees.
  7. Baste again, then broil for 2-3 minutes, until golden.
  8. Remove pan from oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve drizzled with pan juices and remaining lemon half cut into wedges. Serve with a salad or side vegetables of your choice.
