You wanna have a good chicken?
Roast it on a two-inch-deep bed of coarsely-sliced onions and lemons (equal parts), having rubbed the top of the chicken with the butter, then black pepper and a bit of rosemary.
Oooooh. That's damn good.
That sounds good. I do roasted chicken by lifting up the skin and rubbing butter on the meat. Then I place fresh herbs on top. Roast at a high temperatue. The skin comes out crackly, translucent, and the herbs make the chicken beautiful.
