Liam's Favorite Dinner






There's nothing better than the smell and taste of a chicken roasting in the oven. This has become Liam's favourite meal. It always turns out so beautiful, tasty, and impressive. If you haven't roasted your own chicken before I suggest you give it a go. Your guests will not be disappointed.

1 Whole Free Range Chicken
1 stick soft unsalted butter
1 Lemon
Fresh Thyme
Salt
Pepper
Garlic

I make a compound butter with some thyme, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Loosen the chicken's skin and place the butter under the skin. Make sure to push the butter all over under the skin. Cut the lemon in half or quarters and place in the cavity with some sprigs of thyme and whole garlic gloves. Salt and pepper the outside of the bird and place in the oven. Don't forget to let the chicken rest when it comes out of the oven.
