Main ingredients Whole chicken 1 piece, butter 100g, Half a lemon or one whole lemon,Carrots 3 pieces,Potatoes 2 pieces,Onions 1 piece, cord 1 piece, toothpick 1 piece, rosemary to taste, garlic 5 cloves, salt to taste,Black pepper to taste.

Steps

Prepare the ingredients in advance. Wash the chicken and remove the head, neck, innards, and fat near the bottom. Dry it thoroughly.

Melt the butter to room temperature, add chopped rosemary, minced garlic,lemon juice, salt, black pepper. Mix well.

Separate the skin from the meat of the chicken breast and stuff the mixture inside.

About two-thirds of the butter should be stuffed inside. Spread evenly. This ensures a crispy exterior and tender interior without drying out.

Apply the remaining butter all over the chicken. Place lemons, garlic cloves without peeling, inside the cavity.

Use a toothpick to secure the bottom of the chicken.

Drizzle some olive oil in an oven dish, add a little salt and black pepper, rosemary, carrot chunks, and potato pieces. Mix well and arrange around the edges.Olive oil.

Legs can be tied up to make the breast stand out. Hide the wing tips under the chicken. Place them on top of the onions.The onions add flavor and also act as a barrier to help the chicken cook evenly. Pour some olive oil over the surface of the chicken to prevent the butter from burning. Roast in a preheatedovenat 230 degrees Celsius for about an hour (depending on the size of the chicken).

(You can place a small piece of aluminum foil on top of the chicken breast for the first half an hour to prevent burning, and remove it later.)Rearrange the chicken after roasting. Let it rest for at least ten minutes before slicing. I didn't use any foil, so it looks a bit darker but is not burnt. Check inside for tender meat and juicy texture. The remaining chicken bones can be used to make soup with vegetables and pasta, adding another delicious meal.

Risotto made from roasted chicken broth is richer in flavor. Tip

For larger chickens, marinating the day before will enhance the taste even more.

This smaller chicken was quite flavorful even when marinated for just a short time. The flavor of the soup is richer when the chicken is cooked after roasting.

Tips:

If the chicken is large, marinating it in advance for a day will enhance the taste. This small chicken still has great flavor even after just seasoning and roasting.
