    Ingredients:

  • • 1 (3 to 5-pound) whole organic chicken,
    pack of giblets removed
  • • ½ cup of butter, room temperature
  • • ½ lemon
  • • 1 tablespoon of chopped Rosemary
  • • Thyme
  • • 1 tablespoon of chopped Sage
  • • Salt
  • • Black Pepper
  • • 1 garlic clove
  • • Zerillo Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • • Rainbow Carrots
  • • Mini Heirloom Potatoes

    • Step 1.

      Fire up your Ciao Bella Pizza Oven. Aim for 350°F on the stones. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using the built-in temperature thermometer gauge.

    • Step 2.

      Bring the chicken to room temperature. Ensure the cavity of the chicken is empty by removing the giblets and neck.
      Not all chickens will have these.

    • Step 3.

      To start, mix the room temperature butter in a bowl with the chopped sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Once everything is mixed together, set aside.

    • Step 4.

      While you are preparing the chicken, place it breast side up.

    • Step 5.

      Begin to season the inside cavity of the chicken with salt, black pepper, 1 smashed garlic clove, 1 lemon wedge, 1 bunch of fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme.

    • Step 6.

      With the breast side up, pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

    • Step 7.

      Spread the herb butter mixture over the skin of the chicken. If you would like, half of the herbed butter can be placed inside the cavity of the chicken to infuse the butter into the meat.

    • Step 8.

      If the legs are not tied together, use kitchen twine to tie them together.

    • Step 9.

      Place the chicken breast side up in a Ciao Bella Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet Pan.

    • Step 10.

      Rainbow Carrots and mini Heirloom potatoes can be added to the pan if desired.

    • Step 11.

      Season everything with salt and a delicate drizzle of Zerillo Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

    • Step 12.

      Cook the chicken inside your Ciao Bella Pizza Oven for 1 hour. Make sure to check occasionally that you still have a large flame.
      If burning, cover the chicken with aluminum foil.

    • Step 13.

      After roasting for about 45 minutes, baste the chicken with the herb butter and any juices in the pan.

    • Step 14.

      Place the chicken back into the oven for 10 more minutes, or until the juices run clear and the chicken reaches 165°F.

    • Step 15.

      Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest 10-15 minutes before serving.

    • Step 16.

      Carve the chicken and serve with Rainbow Carrots and mini Heirloom potatoes on the side.

    • Step 17.

      Enjoy!
