Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large whole chicken (about 7 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 garlic bulb, halved horizontally
60 garlic cloves (do not peel)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Remove giblets and excess fat from cavity. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Brush outside with butter, and season with salt and pepper. Place garlic bulb in cavity. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan. Tuck wing tips under; tie legs with kitchen twine.
  • Roast chicken, basting occasionally with pan juices, 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and arrange garlic cloves around chicken. Continue roasting until skin is deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer chicken and garlic cloves to a platter. Let tand 15 minutes, then remove garlic bulb from cavity, and discard. Carve chicken, and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce didn't thicken up. I ended up adding some cornstarch to help it thicken.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll try using less soy sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken came out a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

The sauce was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was great. Next time, I'll try using less oil.
