🥣Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven to 400 degrees.

2. Season the cavity of the Chicken with Salt and Pepper and 2 tablespoons of the Butter. Using kitchen string, tie the legs together and the wings together. Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of Butter all over the outside of the Chicken.

3. Set the Chicken on 1 leg in a roasting pan, transfer to the oven, and roast for about 1 hour, turning the chicken on the other leg after 20 minutes, then breast side up during the final 20 minutes.

4. Transfer the Chicken to a cutting board, remove the string, and let stand for 10 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, add a few tablespoons of boiling water to the roasting pan and boil, scraping up any brown bits stuck to the bottom, for 1 minute. Pour into a warmed sauceboat. Carve the Chicken, arrange on a warmed platter, and serve with the pan juices.

💡Tips

• You can also add a few herbs sprigs, such as Tarragon and Thyme, to the cavity of the Chicken, but not too much.
