Buttery Herb Roasted Chicken image

Roasting chicken is always such a comforting thing, especially when you can pick the herbs right from your garden and pair them with some fresh citrus to smear across the bird! My family can't get enough of this herb-roasted chicken recipe. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

This chicken was amazing! The meat was so moist and flavorful, and the skin was crispy and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chicken was cooked to perfection - moist and tender on the inside, and crispy on the outside. The herb butter added so much flavor, and the roasted vegetables were a delicious accompaniment.
