Slide the thinly sliced pads of butter evenly under the skin of both breasts. 4. Apply the Herb Paste: Rub the prepared herb paste all over the outside of the chicken, ensuring it is coated generously on the skin and underneath. 5. Roast the Chicken: Place the chicken into a large cast-iron skillet , you can put small potatoes underneath it and place the chicken on top as you see in the video. If you like, they will be perfectly cooked when the chicken is done . Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured at the thickest part of the breast or thigh. If the top of the chicken starts to brown too quickly, reduce the oven temperature and cover the chicken loosely with foil to prevent over-browning. 6. Rest the Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute. 7. Serve and Enjoy: After resting, carve the chicken and enjoy the flavorful, herb-infused meat! This herb roasted chicken is perfect for a family dinner or special occasion!
