- Position an oven rack just below the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic until smooth.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES
I always wanted to learn to make an excellent roasted chicken at home. I tried to find a recipe that is quick and easy, but in the process, I didn't lose the flavors of the chicken. I could not see any that had a few steps or ingredients. This is a recipe I came up with after trying many different methods. I used to buy a lot of rotisserie chicken, but after I learned this easy chicken dish, I don't think I will ever go back. The chicken turns out to be flavorful and juicy. It can be served with the vegetables as a main dish or use it in other recipes that have chicken in them.

Steps:
- Wash the chicken and pat dry. Poke it with a toothpick all over about 40 times. Season with salt and put in the refrigerator to chill for 8 hours.

PERFECT ROASTED CHICKEN AND ROOT VEGETABLES
Every time I make this recipe for the family or guests they absolutely go nuts for it! It is incredibly moist and delicious! I hope you enjoy it as well. The recipe was inspired by Emeril Lagasse and tweaked to perfection by me. You can use a chicken ranging in weight from 3 1/2 to 7+pounds. Double the amount of the paste ingredients if you make the larger bird. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken. Use as many root vegetables as you like. They can cook along with the chicken.

- Prepare the vegetables ahead of time: Peel and chop the vegetables before you start cooking the chicken. This will save you time and make the cooking process easier.
- Use a well-seasoned roasting pan: A well-seasoned roasting pan will help the chicken and vegetables brown evenly.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through evenly.
- Baste the chicken with the pan juices: This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy chicken.
- Make the verjus beurre blanc while the chicken is resting: This will give you time to whisk the sauce together and let it cool slightly before serving.
