Ultimate Roast Chicken (from Foodwishes)




1 whole chicken

Mashed:
1/2 stick room temp butter
4 minced garlic
lemon zest
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
rosemary
thyme

Salt and pepper the chicken on all sides AND inside too....and tuck the wings under. Put the mashed mixture under the skin and put the scraps MINUS the lemon (this is the only change I made since we didn't want it too citrusy) inside. Squeeze some lemon juice inside. Rub olive oil all over the chicken.

Bake in a 400degree overn for 1hour. 45minutes and baste the oil from the tray on the last 15minutes.
