PERFECT ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FRESH HERBS & LEMON
A plump, beautifully browned chicken, fragrant with rosemary, thyme and lemon, is an entrée that's always welcome. The secret to success is an herb-shallot butter rubbed under the skin to the bird moist. Be careful not to tear the skin as you rub on the butter mixture (which should be at room temperature)
