Description

Chicken baked with butter and herbs

Ingredients

Butter - 3.5 oz
Poultry - 1 piece
Tarragon - 1.8 oz
Bacon - 3.5 oz
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash and dry the chicken. Preheat the oven to 392°F.

Step 2

Soften the butter with a fork and whip slightly.

Step 3

Chop the tarragon and bacon. Mix with the butter and whip.

Step 4

Carefully separate the skin from the meat of the chicken with your fingers to create pockets in the breast, drumsticks, and wings.

Step 5

Stuff these pockets with the butter mixture, rubbing it into the meat. Fill evenly, paying special attention to the breast (as this meat is the driest).

Step 6

Place the chicken on a greased baking tray breast side up, wrapping the tips of the wings in foil. Bake at 392°F until cooked through, about 40 minutes.
