Ingredients:
2 T. butter, softened (optional)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 c. herbes de Provence
1/4 c. olive oil
1 T. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 whole chicken, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 lbs. (not sure how much mine was)
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 475°F. If desired, make pocket under breast skin of chicken and spread 1 T. of butter under skin of each breast (was not in original recipe, but I did this and recommend).
2. Mix remaining ingredients together in a small bowl (apart from chicken, which I hope is obvious lol). Rub mixture all over outside of chicken and inside cavity.
3. Place a wire rack inside a roasting pan, then place prepared chicken on wire rack, breast side up. Transfer to oven.
4. Roast chicken at 475°F for 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F and roast for at least 30 more minutes, adding time as needed until thigh temperature reading is at least 165°F (I ended up going 20 additional minutes).
5. Let rest for 10 minutes, then carve up and enjoy!
