Ingredients

1 whole chicken
compound butter ingredients:
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary,chopped
4 Tbsp butter, softened
1/4 tsp each salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 Tbsp finely minced garlic( i use from a jar all ready minced)
1 tsp dried parsley
stuffing ingredients for chicken:
1 bunch small bunch of fresh herbs of your liking, i used oregano and rosemary
1 medium citrus fruit of your liking, i used a lime today
2 clove garlic, you can just peel them and insert them in.
1 medium onion, peeled and halved

Steps:

1. Rinse chicken and remove giblets. At this point I put the giblets in a small sauce pot, add water, and use the giblets and juice for dressing.
2. In the cavity of the chicken stuff the stuffing ingredients.
3. Make the compound butter by combining all compound butter ingredients.
4. Run your hand under the skin of the chicken all over the breast portion to loosen it enough to get the butter under it. I use gloves for this part.
5. Divide the compound butter up in portions that you like, I usually use a fourth. Insert the butter with your hand, then smash the skin a little to spread the butter out.
6. Bake the chicken in a pre heated 350° until it tests done, and is golden and crispy. this cooked for 1 hour 45 minutes and was pefect.
7. let chicken sit for 10 minutes before carving to give juices a chance to redistribute.

Not the best chicken recipe I've tried. The chicken was a bit dry and the compound butter didn't do much for me.

Not a fan of the compound butter. It overpowered the natural flavor of the chicken. Otherwise, the chicken was cooked nicely.

The chicken was very flavorful and cooked evenly throughout. However, I found the compound butter a bit too salty for my taste.
