Roast Chicken with Shallots, Oregano and Lemon Butter
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Place 185g of Western Star Spreadable, shallots oregano and lemon zest into a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper then mix until well combined.
- Use your fingers to carefully loosen the skin from the breast meat and create a pocket all the way down the breast. Push the Spreadable mixture under the skin and spread it over the breast. Cut the lemon into quarters and place the chicken cavity.
- Place the chicken in a roasting tray and gently rub with salt and the remaining 15g of Western Star Spreadable over the skin.
- Place the chicken into the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until golden and cooked though. Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve with your favourite roast vegetables.

Dry roast chicken?
Avoid a dry chicken by stuffing some flavoured butter under the skin before roasting. Simply ease your fingers under the skin of the chicken breast to create a pocket (without breaking through) and fill it with softened flavoured butter. The butter bastes and flavours the chicken as it cooks leaving you with a moist and tender roast!
