Chicken

Ingredients
1 chicken
150g unsalted butter, softened
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp salt
Zest of 1 lemon + half lemon for chicken
Method
To make your compound butter, simply mix everything together.
For your chicken, take one 1/3 of the butter and place it under the skin of the chicken on top of the breasts. Massage it so it completely covers the flesh.
Put half a lemon in the chicken cavity and tie the legs together.
Spread the rest of the butter all over the chicken skin.
Place in a 200c oven and cook until the internal temp at the thickest point reaches 70c or 160f.
Once cooked, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before you carve it.
