The most delicious chicken.

Fragrant, juicy, tender, and with a rich aroma of spices. This recipe can become your signature dish!

For the recipe:

⁃ 1 whole chicken ~1.8 kg

⁃ potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions - for side dish

Marinade:

⁃ 200 g of butter

⁃ zest of 1 large lemon

⁃ several sprigs of rosemary

⁃ 3 large cloves of garlic

⁃ 1 large spoon of honey

⁃ seasoning mix

⁃ black pepper if desired.

Preparation:

Prepare the chicken - wash it and remove the neck. Rub the inside with spices, using about half a pack. (If desired, this step can be replaced by presalting the chicken overnight: 50 g of salt per 2 liters of water).

Prepare flavored butter.

It's quite simple - add lemon (or other citrus) zest, chopped rosemary, garlic, honey, and spices to soft butter. Mix everything.

Very carefully lift the skin and place the flavored oil under it. This should be done on both the breast and the legs. Put a sliced lemon inside and tie the chicken.

Grease the chicken with a little oil or leftover butter.

Put the chicken on a small baking sheet along with sliced potatoes, onions, or other root vegetables, all a little greased with butter or oil and sprinkled with spices.

Bake.

Temperature: 175 degrees

Mode: convection top/bottom

Time: 1,5 hours + 10-15 minutes.

If some parts of the chicken are browning faster, cover them with foil to get an even color. Enjoy your meal!
