Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (cleaned and patted dry)
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Weber Garlic & Herb seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
• ½ teaspoon Goya seasoning (or adobo)
• Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Herb Butter

• In a small bowl, combine:
  • Melted butter
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic & herb seasoning
  • Parsley flakes
  • Rosemary
  • Goya seasoning
• Mix well to form a flavorful herb butter.

Step 2: Prep the Chicken

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place the whole chicken in a roasting pan or baking dish.
• Brush the herb butter generously all over the chicken, including under the skin if possible.
• Pour any remaining mixture over the top of the chicken.

Step 3: Roast and Serve

• Roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is golden and crispy.
• Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Serve with your favorite sides—think mashed potatoes, green beans, or cornbread.

Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions

• Tuck herbs or lemon slices inside the cavity for extra aroma while roasting.
• Want crispy skin? Broil the chicken for the last 3–5 minutes.
• Save the drippings to make a quick pan gravy or pour over rice.
• Leftovers make excellent chicken salad, sandwiches, or soups.
• Pair with roasted root veggies or a fresh salad to round out the meal.
