Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 1.8kg)
- ¼ cup butter, unsalted softened
- 2 tablespoons tarragon, fresh chopped
- 3 cloves garlic peeled & chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees
- Lightly butter a large roasting tin.
- Mix the butter with the garlic, tarragon, salt and pepper
- Remove the string from the chicken legs and the giblets from the cavity (if there).
- Loosen the skin near the cavity and spread half the butter underneath it, on top of the meat.
- Slather the remaining butter over the chicken breast and legs.
- Place the chicken in the roasting tin and roast for 1 hour 15 minutes
- Baste the chicken with juices every 20 minutes for a moist meat. You could opt to baste just once half way through roasting.
- Check that the chicken is cooked by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the thigh. Clear juices indicate the chicken is cooked. If they are pink, roast for longer.
- Remove from the oven and cover with foil. Rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Spoon the pan juices over the chicken or use it to make a gravy
