Lemon Herb Roast Chicken

This is an awesome way to spice up your everyday roast chicken. You can’t beat fresh herbs and the lemon juice and chipotle chilli powder really compliment nicely.

Ingredients

Marinade:
¼ cup fresh poultry pack herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage)
½ shallot
2 large cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon chipotle chilli powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 whole roasting chicken

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Either finely chop the herbs, shallot and garlic by hand and then combine with the remaining ingredients or combine everything in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Place the whole chicken on a baking sheet (with rack if you have one) and rub the marinade all over by hand or brush and then place chicken in the middle of the oven. Bake until completely cooked. You can also give a second brushing of the marinade half way through cooking time.
Remove chicken from the oven, rest, covered in a warm place for 15 minutes and serve with your favourite sides.
