Orange & Herb Roasted Chicken
Ingredients:
- Sun-Land Whole Young Fryer Chicken (#2027), thawed and patted dry
- 1/2 cup Kirkland Salted Sweet Cream Butter (#1723), softened
- Zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
- 2 tsp Alison’s Essential Season-All Blend (#2478)
- 2 sprigs each of fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth (#1040 base)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 3-5 garlic cloves
- Choice Half Size Foil Deep Steam Table Pan (#2391)
Instructions:
- First, preheat oven to 350F.
- Then, prepare the butter by mixing in the orange and lemon zest, Season-All Blend, and freshly chopped herbs.
- Using a basting brush, gently brush the butter under the skin of the chicken breasts and thighs. Then, tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
- Place the prepared chicken into the foil pan, followed by the chicken broth.
- Arrange any remaining herb sprigs around the chicken, along with orange slices and garlic cloves.
- Now, cover with Kirkland Premium Quality Foodservice Foil (#1963) and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and baste the juices onto the chicken.
- Continue to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F, continuing to baste the juices to help prevent it from drying.
- Allow to rest before slicing.
