ROAST CHICKEN WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Roast Chicken with Garlic-Herb Butter image

When making roast chicken, the key to getting crispy, golden skin is to season your bird in advance and leave it in the fridge overnight. The chicken roasts directly on top of a baguette, which absorbs the pan drippings for a side as tasty as the main event.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 3½?4½ lb. whole chicken, about 1.6?2 kg
1 rib celery
1 small onion
1 small carrot
1 day-old baguette, sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup water or chicken stock

Steps:

  • The day before roasting, combine butter in a bowl with zest of one lemon (reserving the lemon), garlic, chives, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Dry the chicken with paper towels and place on a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Season chicken with salt and pepper, inside and out. Using your fingers, gently release the skin from the breast on either side of the breast bone. Place a heaping tablespoon of the compound butter under the skin on each side and smooth down to coat each breast. Do the same at the other end, where the thigh joins the open cavity. Distribute the remaining butter on each side under the leg skin. Place chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered, to allow the skin to dry.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Roughly chop the celery, onion, and carrot and place inside the chicken cavity, along with leftover herb stems and half the zested lemon. Cut the baguette to approximately the length of the chicken and place, open-faced, on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay the chicken on top of it. Pour water or chicken stock in the pan so the bread doesn't burn. Bake, 10-12 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, chicken will begin to brown. Add more water or stock to the pan if the bread looks too dark. Reduce oven temp to 400 F and continue cooking, 35-55 minutes, depending on chicken size. (Final internal temperature should be 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the thigh.)
  • Test the chicken for doneness by sticking a knife into the thickest part of the thigh-the juices should run clear (i.e., not pink). When done, remove from oven and let the chicken rest 5 minutes before carving. To carve, first remove the wings. Next, cut the skin close to the leg, then cut from the back and follow the bone along the joint and remove the leg. Remove the breasts by cutting down the middle, following the bone (save the rest of the chicken carcass for stock). Cut the baguette into four pieces and serve with the cut chicken on top.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
  • For a crispier chicken, cook it over medium-high heat for the first few minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
  • To make a delicious honey butter sauce, simply combine melted butter, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • This dish is also great served with roasted vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or broccoli.

Conclusion:

This herb chicken with honey butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of herbs, honey, and butter creates a flavorful and moist chicken that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
