Herb Roasted Whole Chicken

Cooking up a whole chicken is ideal any day of the week and it's easier that it seems to do so. This Herb-roasted whole chicken was on the menu tonight as it's been a while since I made something that's quite herb-heavy. This well-seasoned chicken has a gorgeous texture, it's flavourful, moist and absolutely of course, absolutely delicious. There's no need for butter as this chicken is so succulent, you'll get no complaints, compliments all round.
