Step 1
Rinse the chicken and pat it dry, then cut it open from the abdominal cavity, not the back. Press the chicken flat to ensure it cooks evenly within an hour. Soften the butter at room temperature, then use your fingers to gently insert it under the chicken skin, spreading it evenly without piercing the skin.

Step 2
Sprinkle a thin layer of salt on both sides of the chicken and marinate for 1 hour. Then, brush a thin layer of oil on both sides, sprinkle freshly ground black pepper, and place the chicken in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45 minutes, or slightly longer depending on the oven’s heat, but it should be done within an hour.
