Chicken and Butter

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Butter Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, Boursin cheese, yellow miso paste, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken halves dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken halves.

  3. 3

    Apply the Butter Mixture

    Using your hands or a spatula, generously spread the butter mixture under the skin and over the surface of the chicken halves.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken halves, skin-side up, in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with your favorite sides.
