Whole Chicken Marinade

spring sage (about 8 large leaves)

Springs thyme

springs rosemary

Tablespoons parsley

½ Tablespoon smoked paprika

garlic cloves

lemon

olive oil

Salt and black pepper

chicken (3-4lb)

Add fresh sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley, garlic, and olive oil to a small food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped.If you don&#39;t have a food processor or a blender, simply chop the herbs as finely as possible and mix everything together in a bowl.

Transfer to a bowl, next, add lemon zest, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.

Place the chicken on a large plate and pat it dry with a kitchen paper towel. Carefully loosen the chicken skin on the breast (without tearing it) by sliding your fingers underneath or using the back of a spoon (preferred method).

Season both the exterior and cavity of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Rub the marinade on the chicken, under the skin of the chicken breast, and in the cavity, making sure to evenly coat the chicken.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor. Bring it out of the fridge 30 minutes before you bake so that it comes to room temperature.

Roast in a preheated oven at 200C/400F until golden brown and the skin crispy, basting 1-2 times for moist and tender chicken. Rest the chicken for a few minutes (15-20 minutes) for the juice to redistribute before carving it. Serve and enjoy! The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165F/75C when checked with a meat thermometer.

Great marinade, very easy and delicious! Thank you!
