Mabon Herb Roasted Chicken Recipe
Mabon Recipe: Herb Roasted Chicken
Ingredients:
whole chicken, cleaned and innards removed
2 lemons, cut into chunks (unpeeled)
one onion, cut into chunks
handful of fresh herbs: rosemary, thyme, and lemon balm are best!
half stick of salted butter
generous amount of salt and pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Clean the chicken: remove the innards and wash the outside. Pat dry with paper towels.
Squeeze a lemon chunk into the chicken’s cavern and then stuff the lemon chunks, onion pieces, and fresh herbs into the chicken. Tie the legs closed.
Rub salt and pepper all over the chicken’s skin.
Set on pan and bake at 350 degrees. 20 minutes per pound.
When there’s 40 minutes left on the chicken (or before the chicken skin gets too crispy/burns), melt your butter and pour over the chicken. Return to the oven.
Every 10-15 minutes following, baste the chicken with the juices in the pan.
Remove from oven and let cool. Cut and serve.
