Tony’s Creole Butter & Herb Rice Dinner Mix
- Clear
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a baking tray with foil or lightly grease a roasting pan. Use a baking rack if you have one, for crisping.
- Discard the neck and giblets from inside the chicken and remove any excess fat. Wash the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Spatchcock or butterfly the chicken by cutting it down the center on the back side and removing the backbone, allowing it to be flattened out for serving.
- In a blow, mix together olive oil, melted butter, Tony’s 30-Minute Chicken Marinade and the juice of half a lemon.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken to completely cover it. Also pour the sauce under the skin and inside the cavity.
- Season the chicken liberally with Tony’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning on the outside and inside the cavity. Then sprinkle on parsley.
- Stuff the head of garlic into the chicken cavity along with the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon half. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string. Drizzle with honey.
- Place the chicken breast-side up onto a baking tray or roasting pan. Cover the pan with chopped peppers and sliced onions and lay the chicken on top.
- Roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Baste the chicken halfway through with extra marinade mixture.
- After the 1 hour and 10 minutes, bring the oven temperature up to 425°F and roast for an additional 20 minutes to brown and crisp the skin.
- When finished baking, put the chicken on a plate and garnish with the pepper and onions.
- Serve with Tony’s Creole Butter & Herb Rice Dinner Mix, and use some of the juice from the chicken to coat the rice once it’s cooked. Enjoy!
