This recipe comes from Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and it is so easy, moist and delicious! This will be making it on my dinner table many, many more times! The herb butter really keeps the chicken moist and gives such a nice flavor…not over powering at all! This is such a nice change from the usual chicken dishes! I should also mention our dog was going crazy while this was cooking and let me tell you she was dancing when it came out of the oven! She too enjoyed this dish!
INGREDIENTS
1 3 to 3 1/2 pound whole chicken
1 stick of butter
1 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped tarragon
DIRECTIONS
Bring your butter to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the butter, parsley and tarragon together until well incorporated. Using your hand slightly push the top of the skin away from the meat of the chicken and add all of the butter under the skin patting it down to make an even layer of butter under the skin. Place chicken on a roasting pan and roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes turn the oven down to 350 degrees and continue to roast for another 35-45 minutes until cooked through. Remove from oven and serve warm.
Enjoy!
