Hi friends! Wanted to let you know that roasting a

Hi friends! Wanted to let you know that roasting a whole chicken is not as intimidating as it looks especially when you cook it low and slow. It is truly the perfect main dish for Easter dinner!

Ingredients
4-5 Pound Whole Chicken
3 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
3 Cloves of garlic, minced or grated
1-2 onions quartered

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Prepare your roasting pan or a large cast-iron or heavy pan by laying out the quartered onions in a circle on the bottom of the pan.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it on top of the quartered onions.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub the garlic oil mixture generously all over the chicken — including under the skin and inside the cavity if possible.
Add the 3 tablespoons of butter to the top of the chicken and roast uncovered for 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is deeply golden and crisp.
Let rest for 10–15 minutes before carving to lock in all the juices.
