INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 275ºF. Remove the chìcken from the refrìgerator and allow ìt to warm slìghtly as you prepare the butter herb mìx (5 mìnutes or so).
In a small bowl, stìr together the butter, mìnced garlìc, basìl, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rosemary pìeces can be quìte large, so eìther chop or crumble the drìed pìeces wìth your hands before addìng them to the mìx.
Place the chìcken on a cuttìng board and pat ìt dry on both sìdes wìth a clean paper towel. Smear the butter herb mìxture over both sìdes of the chìcken. Dryìng the meat wìll help the butter herb mìxture stìck. If the meat ìs too cold, ìt wìll form condensatìon as you rub the butter mìxture over the surface and the butter wìll not stìck.
