Notes
- For the basting butter, you can make it as the recipe states, but I’ve sometimes added more ingredients like poultry seasoning, or Montreal steak spice.
Even adding some crushed chili peppers switches up the flavors and makes it a ‘new’ recipe after you’ve this roast chicken a few times. Don’t skip out on the basting butter part of the recipe – it’s highly recommended and makes the a huge difference in the flavors of the dish Happy cooking!
