Not every holiday gathering needs a 20-pound turkey. A perfectly roasted chicken is elegant, manageable, and incredibly delicious. Rubbed with herb butter and filled with savory stuffing, this bird is golden-brown proof that great things come in smaller packages.

Carving a chicken at the table is a moment of pride. The Carving Set (Carver and Carving Fork) ensures you get beautiful, clean slices of breast meat and easily separate the drumsticks, making serving a show in itself.

Ingredients

1 (4-5 lb) roasting chicken

Herb Butter: ¼ cup butter, rosemary, thyme, garlic.

Stuffing: 4 cups bread cubes, onion, celery, broth, egg, herbs.

Instructions

Stuff: Sauté onion and celery, mix with bread and herbs, and stuff the bird (or bake alongside).

Butter: Mix herb butter ingredients and rub under the skin of the chicken. Rub skin with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
