Ingredients:
Serves 6-8
Crispy Chicken Ingredients
1/4 tsp. salt
5-7 cranks of fresh ground pepper
Herb Butter Sauce Ingredients
1/4 cup butter melted
1/4 cup of Herb Salad or fresh herbs like chopped parsley, cilantro, or basil
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400° F; move the rack to the middle of the oven. On a cutting board or large plate, dry the chicken inside and out.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Truss if you like (tie the legs together). I skip this step and place a small hole in the skin on both side of the bottom of the breast, cross the legs, and place the ends through the skin (ask me questions, if you need help w this)!
Cook until internal temp reaches 165. This should take about 1 hour for a 3 lb bird. If you notice it’s getting too brown – you can cover the top with aluminum foil, which stops the browning. Take the foil off for the last 10 minutes to crisp up the skin and drizzle the skin with 2 TBS of olive oil.
Pull out of oven and let it rest on a trivet or baking rack for at least 10 minutes before carving, so the chicken’s juices won’t leak out.
Herb Butter Sauce:
- Mix the melted butter and herbs and pour over the chicken. You can pour this over fish, lamb, turkey, or veggies like corn.

This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
