Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 whole chicken (mine was about 5 pounds, discard the giblets)
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp butter flavored coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
  • 1 bunch of fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup coarse salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Press the garlic through a garlic press or chop very fine. Soften the coconut oil in the microwave for a few seconds if necessary. Mix the coconut oil with the garlic and a big pinch of the salt. Set aside.
  • Rub the remaining salt inside the empty cavity of the chicken. Stuff the thyme in the cavity.
  • Rub the outside of the chicken with the coconut oil and garlic mixture.
  • Roast for 2-3 hours until golden and at least 160 degrees. Cool for 10 minutes before carving.
