Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings ¼ cup lemon balm leaves, divided ¼ cup fresh sage leaves, divided ¼ cup softened butter salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 (3 1/2 pound) whole chicken 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 tablespoons olive oil Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Reserve one-third lemon balm and one-third sage; chop remaining lemon balm and sage. Combine chopped herbs and butter in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Loosen skin of chicken; rub butter mixture underneath skin over breast and legs. Rub skin with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place reserved herbs into chicken cavity. Place chicken breast-side-down into a roasting pan. Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then flip to breast-side-up; continue roasting until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing. I Made It Print 27 home cooks made it!
