Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pound (2kg) whole chicken, at room temperature giblets and neck removed from cavity*
1/4 cup unsalted butter, (melted)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup white wine, ((OPTIONAL) -- use a dry wine like a Sauv blanc or Chardonnay)
1 lemon, (halved)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, (to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
4 garlic cloves, (minced)
1 head of garlic roughly peeled and cut in half horizontally (through the middle crosswise)
3 fresh whole rosemary sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 430°F | 220°C (400°F or 200°C fan forced). Line a baking tray with foil, or lightly grease a roasting pan.
  • Discard neck from inside the cavity and remove any excess fat and leftover feathers. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Pour the olive oil, melted butter, wine (if using) and the juice of half a lemon over the chicken, under the skin and inside the cavity. Season chicken liberally on the outside and inside the cavity with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the parsley.
  • Rub the minced garlic over the chicken, mixing all ingredients together over the chicken and under the skin.
  • Stuff the garlic head into the chicken cavity along with the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon halve. Tie legs together with kitchen string.
  • Place breast-side up into baking tray or roasting pan. Roast for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, basting half way through cooking time, until juices run clear when chicken thigh is pierced with a skewer.
  • Baste again, then broil for a further 2-3 minutes, until golden.
  • Remove from the oven, cover with foil and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve, drizzled with pan juices and remaining lemon half cut into wedges or slices.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon each chopped fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 whole turkey (about 12 pounds), thawed if frozen, rinsed and patted dry, neck reserved (set aside giblets for stuffing, if desired)
Cornbread And Sausage Stuffing
4 to 6 large carrots, halved crosswise
2 large onions, cut into 8 wedges
2 stalks celery, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the lowest position. Make herb butter: In a small bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons butter with chopped herbs; season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare and stuff the turkey. Loosen skin: Working from the neck end, slide fingers under skin until you reach the end of the breast, being careful not to tear the skin; rub herb butter under the skin. Fill neck cavity: Place turkey breast side down. Fill neck cavity with stuffing; avoid packing. Close up by folding skin over and fastening with skewers or trussing needles. Tuck wings: Turn turkey over; bend wing tips underneath bird so they stay in place (you may have to break the bones). Loosely fill large cavity with stuffing. Tie legs: Using cotton kitchen twine, tie legs together securely (they will overlap) so bird retains its shape and moisture during cooking.
  • Cut neck into pieces; mix with carrots, onions, celery, and 2 cups water in a large roasting pan. Set roasting rack over vegetables in pan.
  • Lift turkey onto rack; rub with remaining tablespoon butter. Season generously with salt and pepper. Tent turkey loosely with foil. Roast 1 hour, then baste every 30 minutes with pan liquids, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees, about 3 hours.
  • Remove foil; raise oven heat to 400 degrees. Continue roasting, basting occasionally, until thigh reaches 180 degrees, 45 to 60 minutes more. Tent with foil if bird browns too quickly; add more water if pan becomes dry. Transfer turkey to a serving platter; cover loosely with foil, and let it rest at least 30 minutes before carving.
