Roast Chicken With Herbs And Butter

1. 1

   Heat oven to 500 degrees.

2. 2

   Loosen skin of chicken and insert a pat or two of butter, depending on size of chicken pieces, and a portion of herbs under skin.

3. 3

   Sprinkle skin with salt and pepper and place pieces, skin side up, in a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate chicken.

4. 4

   Roast, turning pan from front to back once after 15 minutes.

5. 5

   (Do not turn pieces.)

6. 6

   Chicken is usually done when nicely browned, 10 to 15 minutes later (about 30 minutes total), but you can cut into a piece or two to make sure juices are running clear.

7. 7

   Serve hot or warm, with lemon wedges.
