Cluck Cluck: Roasted Whole Chicken

Stuffed Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:

1 whole large chicken

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

1 tbsp fresh spring onions (finely chopped)

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp dried parsley

1/4 tsp dried basil

2 tbsp butter (softened)

1 lemon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 230°C 450°F.  Prepare the herb butter rub by combining the butter and the fresh herbs.

2. Combine the dried spices and rub the chicken with it.  Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

3. Rub the chicken with the herb butter and place on a sheet tray.  I lined it with an aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
Place a few fresh herbs on the tray and place the chicken on top.  Add lemon wedges on the side.

4. Roast for about 50 mins to 1 hour.

5. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes.

6. Plate and Enjoy! :)
