Yummly
June 6, 2025
A whole chicken roasted low and slow in your oven produces a tender, fall-off-the-bone bird that is worlds better than any grocery store rotisserie chicken. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Sara Mellas.

Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2
|
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and position a wire rack in the pan.
3
|
Remove and discard the giblets from the cavity of the chicken.
4
|
Crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and discard the papery skins.
5

Take one garlic clove and rub it firmly over the entire surface of the chicken. Place all the crushed garlic cloves in the cavity of the chicken.
6
|
Liberally season the chicken inside and out with the salt and black pepper.
7
|
Stir the softened butter and olive oil together in a small bowl until mostly combined. With clean hands, rub the butter and olive oil all over the surface of the chicken and under the breast skin.
8
|
Sprinkle the paprika and garlic powder over the chicken, then place the chicken on the wire rack breast side up.
9
|
Tie the legs together with kitchen twine, and tuck the wing tips beneath the body of the chicken.
10
|
Separate the onion into two parts and place into the cavity of the chicken, along with the parsley, thyme, and lemon half.
11
|
Roast the chicken on middle rack of oven until the thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 160°F, 2 3/4-3 hours.
12
|
Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
13
|
Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Leftovers may be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
