Lemon-Herb Chicken Roast Recipe

This lemon-herb roasted chicken is foolproof and fantastic. Butter mixed with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and grated lemon zest is what sets it apart. You can make the butter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days, or stash it in the freezer. Rubbing the seasoned butter under the skin and all over the bird before roasting results in juicy meat with crispy skin. This recipe is easy enough for a weeknight dinner but boasts enough extra flavor and special touches to make it ideal for serving at a dinner party. Offer the chicken with roast potatoes and salad to turn the dish into an easy, elegant meal.

1 whole chicken
1 large Lemon cut in half
¼ cup butter room temperature
2 tsp Salt
