List of Ingredients




1 roasting chicken (61⁄2 lb), giblets reserved for another use, rinsed and patted dry
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1⁄2 tsp each salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 fresh sprigs rosemary or thyme



Recipe



1. Heat oven to 400�F. Oil a wire rack (preferably V-shaped); set in roasting pan.

2. Rub outside of chicken with butter; season inside and out with the salt and pepper. Place onion and rosemary in cavity. If desired, truss chicken, tying legs together with kitchen twine and tucking wing tips under back. Place chicken on its side on rack in pan.
