Whole chicken:
Take some butter, I cover the whole bird so about 1 stick, and mix with fresh rosemary, fresh cracked black pepper, salt, some garlic, and about 4-6 lavender leaves (not a stem but the leaves).
Once all the butter is mixed rub 3/4 it on the chicken under the skin and in as many crevices as possible. Then take the remaining and coat the outside.
Crank your oven up to 425f, I use a cast iron skillet, and place chicken in oven friendly pan. Bake for about 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 400f and continue baking for 10-15 more minutes or until the juices run clear from the thigh/breast area.
Serve with fresh green veggies, garlic mashed potatoes, and a roll.
might try that
