Instructions

Prep your whole chicken by patting it dry.
Make the compound butter by mixing room temperature butter with all compound butter ingredients and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
While the butter chills, coat your chicken thoroughly in the olive oil rub.
Once the butter is firm, smear it under the chicken skin, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
Cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, remove the butter juices, pour them over the chicken, and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees for enhanced flavor.

Notes

If you want extra crispy skin, ensure the chicken is patted dry before applying the rub.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs can also be used, but may need adjustments in quantity.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
