3 lb Organic whole chicken 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of kosher salt 1 teaspoon plus ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper Twig of fresh rosemary or other savory herb ¼ cup butter, melted plus 1½ tablespoons butter for the inside of the skin
Set your oven to 425°. Make sure there aren't any gizzards in the cavity, rinse, then pat the inside and out dry with a paper towel. Rub about a teaspoon of kosher salt and black pepper inside the cavity, massage the 1½ tablespoons of butter between the skin. Dust the outside with another tablespoon of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place your twig of herbs inside the cavity. If you have some kitchen twine, tie the legs together and tuck the wings behind the bird. Roast for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting 3.2.2807
Oh the crispness of it all.
It’s just, well, fantastic. It’s out of this world crazy delicious.
Did you get a chance to read about Ag Local when I shared my Apple Walnut Burger recipe with you the other day?
This whole chicken was part of the Fit and Lean box that I was provided to sample. You can more about Ag Local, on my Apple Walnut Burger post.

When prepping, be gentle with the skin or it will tear just like mine did.
But you know, in the end it was all good.
The hubby called me on his way home from work and asked the proverbial question’ “What’s for dinner”?
A whole roasted chicken. I could tell he was salivating. There was just enough pause in his voice that I knew. I just knew.
He loves it when I cook chicken with the skin on. You know I rarely do. Go ahead and enjoy it every now and then.
It’s definitely worth it.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
