     Herb Roasted Chicken

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   6 to 8
Preptime   20 mins

Ingredients
2 3 to 4lb chickens
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus 1 sprig torn in half
1 lemon, halved
1 onion, halved
6 cloves of garlic, smashed
5 bunches scallions, quarted
2 pints grape tomatoes or small heirloom tomatoes
 
2 tablespoons EVOO

Instructions
Pat the chicken dry; generously season the skin and inside cavity with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight to dry out this skin. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before roasting.
Preheat the oven to 425. Mash the butter with the chopped thyme and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Gently slide your fingers under the chicken skin on the breasts and legs to loosen it. Scoop some of the herbed butter with a spoon; slide the spoon under the skin and hold the skin in place while you remove the spoon. Smooth the skin to distribute the butter. Repeat with the remaining butter.
Squeeze a lemon half into the cavity of each chicken, then stuff the lemon half inside. Stuff 1/2 onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 thyme sprig and 1/2 half rosemary sprig into each chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with twine. Set a rack in the large roasting pan, put the chicken on the rack and roast 25 minutes. Toss the scallions, tomatoes, olive oil and a large pinch of salt in a bowl, then add to the roasting pan. Remove the twine from the chicken and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 170, about 50 more minutes.
Transfer the chicken and vegetables to platters and let rest about 10 minutes before carving.
