SELF.COM Healthy Recipe

Since I haven't posted a healthy recipe lately as soon as I saw this one I knew it would pass the test for my next blog post.  First and foremost I LOVE self.com for all their recipes and fitness tips and I just think Gwyneth Paltrow is fabulous SOOO why shouldn't I try out this famous HEALTHY recipe of hers.  I am so excited to eat this tonight...you need to make it too.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Large pinch coarse sea salt
  • 1 whole roasting chicken (3–4 lb; preferably organic), neck and giblets discarded
  • Twine

PREPARATION

  1. Heat oven to 400°. Mix butter, garlic salt, paprika, pepper and salt in a bowl. Rinse chicken inside and out; pat dry. Insert fingers between skin and breast to separate the two. Rub seasoned butter over chicken and under skin. Tuck wings underneath bird and tie together with a piece of twine. Tie legs together with another piece of twine. Place chicken on its side in a heavy roasting pan and roast 25 minutes. Turn onto its other side and sprinkle with several tbsp water; roast 25 minutes more. Turn chicken on its back; roast 10 minutes more. Turn on its breast; roast until skin is crispy and chicken is golden brown, 10 minutes more. Remove from pan and let rest, breast side down, 15 minutes, before carving (remove skin).
