  • 1 pc chicken (around 1.5 to 2 kilos)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 pc lemon
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 220 degrees celsius without fan or 200 degrees celsius with fan.
  • Pat dry chicken, then try to lift off the skin from the meat. Generously put salt and pepper all over and inside the chicken.
  • Melt butter in the microwave. Add to the melted butter the olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon, minced garlic, and parsley. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, underneath the skin, and inside the cavity of the chicken.
  • Stuff inside the chicken the entire head of garlic, rosemary sprigs, and squeezed half-lemon.
  • Tie the legs, wings, and the entire chicken together to make sure that all the ingredients we put inside the chicken won't come out or steam out.

  • Take the chicken out of the oven, let rest for three minutes, then cut into several pieces. Enjoy.
