BONUS: How to Carve a Chicken

You will need:
1 whole chicken
½ cup fresh basil ¼ fresh parsley
5 cloves garlic
1 lemon (juiced)
½ cup olive oil
½ tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 lbs tpotatoes (halved)

Directions:
• Preheat the oven to 400° degrees. Rinse and pat the chicken dry. Place the rest of the ingredients in a blender/ food processor and give it a few pulses until coarsely chopped and all ingredients are incorporated.

• Smear the herb mixture all over the chicken including inside the cavity and under the skin. Place the spent lemon peel inside the cavity of the chicken.

• Place the potatoes under roasting pan insert. Sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Place the removable insert over the potatoes and position the chicken (legs side down ) over the insert.

• Roast in the oven for 1 ½ hours (for a crispier skin you can raise the temp to 425° for the last 15 minutes.) After removing from the oven let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
