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.

Runny white sauce?
If your white sauce isn’t thick enough, you can whisk in a little cornflour and water paste or begin again by making another roux and whisking in the runny white sauce in place of the milk.
