Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herb-Butter Roast Chicken.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Rinse the chicken under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels, setting it aside for a moment.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, blend together softened margarine, garlic salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried parsley, and dried rosemary to create a fragrant herb-butter mixture.
Step 4
With your hands, generously massage this flavorful blend all over the chicken, ensuring every inch is coated, and don’t forget to rub any leftover mixture inside the cavity for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 5
Nestle the seasoned chicken in a glass baking dish, breast side up, ready for its oven adventure.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the chicken boasts a golden brown hue and the juices run clear.
Step 7
For peace of mind, use an instant-read meat thermometer to confirm that the thickest part of the thigh reaches a safe internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await a perfectly roasted chicken, ready to impress at your dinner table.
