Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 4 lbs Whole roasting chicken
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Dried culinary lavender
  • 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla bean paste
  • 2 whole Lemons, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 stems Fresh thyme sprigs(optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, lavender, vanilla bean paste, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Gently loosen the skin over the chicken breast and thighs, then spread half of the lavender-vanilla butter underneath the skin.

  4. 4

    Rub the remaining butter over the outside of the chicken and tie the legs together with kitchen twine.

  5. 5

    Toss the lemon slices with honey and olive oil, then arrange them in the bottom of a roasting pan or cast-iron skillet.

  6. 6

    Place the chicken on top of the lemon slices and roast for 15 minutes to start the caramelization process.

  7. 7

    Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue roasting for 50-60 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices.

  8. 8

    Remove from oven when the internal temperature reaches 165°F and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
