Roasted Chicken is the ultimate kitchen staple! And our recipe is so easy to make!

SUPPLIES:
• The Quattro or Primo Wood Burning Pizza Oven
• Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet Pan

INGREDIENTS:
1 (3 to 5-pound) whole organic chicken,
pack of giblets removed
½ cup of butter, room temperature
½ lemon
1 tablespoon of chopped Rosemary
Thyme
1 tablespoon of chopped Sage
Salt
Black Pepper
1 garlic clove
Zerillo Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Rainbow Carrots
Mini Heirloom Potatoes

DIRECTIONS:
STEP 1
Fire up your Ciao Bella Pizza Oven. Aim for 350°F on the stones. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using the built-in temperature thermometer gauge.

STEP 2
Bring the chicken to room temperature. Ensure the cavity of the chicken is empty by removing the giblets and neck.
Not all chickens will have these.

STEP 3
To start, mix the room temperature butter in a bowl with the chopped sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Once everything is mixed together, set aside.

STEP 4
While you are preparing the chicken, place it breast side up.

STEP 5
Begin to season the inside cavity of the chicken with salt, black pepper, 1 smashed garlic clove, 1 lemon wedge, 1 bunch of fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme

STEP 6
With the breast side up, pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

STEP 7
Spread the herb butter mixture over the skin of the chicken. If you would like, half of the herbed butter can be placed inside the cavity of the chicken to infuse the butter into the meat.

STEP 8
If the legs are not tied together, use kitchen twine to tie them together.

STEP 9
Place the chicken breast side up in a Ciao Bella Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet Pan.

STEP 10
Rainbow Carrots and mini Heirloom potatoes can be added to the pan if desired.

STEP 11
Season everything with salt and a delicate drizzle of Zerillo Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

STEP 12
Cook the chicken inside your Ciao Bella Pizza Oven for 1 hour. Make sure to check occasionally that you still have a large flame.
If burning, cover the chicken with aluminum foil.

STEP 13
After roasting for about 45 minutes, baste the chicken with the herb butter and any juices in the pan.

STEP 14
Place the chicken back into the oven for 10 more minutes, or until the juices run clear and the chicken reaches 165°F.

STEP 15
Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest 10-15 minutes before serving.

STEP 16
Carve the chicken and serve with Rainbow Carrots and mini Heirloom potatoes on the side.

STEP 17
Enjoy!
