Enjoy this simple and flavorful Garlic Herb Butter Rotisserie Chicken. It’s a comforting meal rooted in tradition with a fresh, bright taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 1 onion, quartered

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is your herb butter.
  3. Pat the chicken dry, inside and out, with paper towels.
  4. Gently loosen the skin over the chicken breasts and thighs. Push about half of the herb butter mixture under the skin.
  5. Rub the remaining herb butter all over the outside of the chicken.
  6. Place the lemon halves and onion quarters inside the chicken cavity.
  7. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine, if desired.
  8. Place the chicken in a roasting pan or a sturdy oven-safe dish.
  9. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C).
  10. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, you can air-dry the chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered, for a few hours before rubbing with butter.
  • You can use dried herbs if fresh are not available, but reduce the quantity by half.
  • Use the pan drippings to make a simple gravy or serve alongside the chicken.
