Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, both inside and out.
- Season the cavity of the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Truss the chicken, if desired, to help it cook more evenly. (Trussing is optional but can help maintain the shape of the chicken.)
Make the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and fresh rosemary leaves until well combined.
Rub the Chicken:
- Gently loosen the skin of the chicken by carefully inserting your fingers between the skin and the meat, being careful not to tear the skin.
- Spread half of the garlic butter mixture under the skin of the chicken, distributing it evenly over the breast and thighs.
- Rub the remaining garlic butter mixture all over the outside of the chicken, coating it evenly.
Stuff the Chicken:
- Place the lemon halves, onion quarters, and fresh herb sprigs (if using) inside the cavity of the chicken.
Roast the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breast-side up on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh and the juices run clear.
Rest and Serve:
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
- Carve the chicken and serve it with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions:
- Use any leftover garlic butter mixture to baste the chicken while it roasts for extra flavor.
- Serve the roast chicken with pan juices drizzled over the top for added richness.
- Enjoy this classic dish as the centerpiece of a special meal with family and friends.
Now, you're ready to enjoy the delicious aroma and flavors of homemade garlic butter roast chicken.
