Prepare the Herb-Infused Butter:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter or margarine with dried rosemary, sage, onion powder, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to create a flavorful herb-infused butter.

2. Season the Chicken and Butter:

• Ensure your chicken is giblet-free. Gently create pockets between the skin and meat by carefully lifting the skin away from the meat. This will allow you to massage the herb-infused butter directly onto the meat. Season the chicken inside the cavity and outside with the spice rub mix.

3. Apply Butter Under the Skin:

• Carefully rub the herb-infused butter under the chicken’s skin, reaching as much of the meat as possible. This step enhances the flavor and keeps the meat juicy during roasting.

4. Preheat and Roast:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan.

5. Roasting Time:

• Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part (usually between the leg and thigh).

6. Rest and Serve:

• Once the Turkey-Style Chicken is perfectly roasted, remove it from the oven.
• Let it rest for 20 minutes. This resting period ensures a juicy and succulent chicken.
• After resting, carve the chicken and serve it to delight your taste buds with the savory flavors of Thanksgiving.
