食材

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter (softened)

1 lemon

3-4 cloves garlic (minced)

步驟

Zest the yellow rind of the lemon. Cut the lemon in half and juice half of the lemon into a small bowl. Add the rind, olive oil, softened butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well (the mixture should be fairly thick).

Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice the remaining lemon half and place it inside the chicken along with ½ an onion. Tie the legs together. Place the chicken in a shallow pan breast side up and place in oven.

Turn oven down to 375°F and bake for 1 ¼ hours or until the inner thigh reaches 165°F.
