Garlic Herb Roasted Whole Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional for heat
- 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup room temperature butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Mix all the ingredients together (not including the chicken) in a small bowl mix with the room temperature butter and set aside.
- Rinse and pay dry your chicken and place in a roasting pan. (I personally stuff my chicken with stuffing but that’s optional.)
- Rub the garlic herb butter all over the chicken and then place in oven.
- Roast for 5 hours checking internal temperature to ensure it’s at 160 or higher.
- Tip: every hour I turn the pan and 2 hours in I begin to bast the bird with the juices in the pan, I brush the bird softly as well to give it the even brown skin throughout!
