Summer Waters ~ Savor Your Health

Some variation of this go-to recipe is one of my top approaches to preparing a whole chicken.  It is simple and satisfying, just what I’m looking for in the kitchen!  Roasting the whole bird provides a few meals made at one time in one dish, which saves time with less dishes to wash and leftovers to enjoy throughout the week.  Stay tuned to learn what to do with the valuable bones.  Save them in a bag in the freezer for now.

Serves ~6

Ingredients:

1 organic whole chicken (about 5 pounds), giblets removed
1-2 tablespoon butter*
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 lemon, sliced
1-2 cloves garlic, minced or sliced

Some Variations:
*Alternatively, you can use ghee.  If you are sensitive to dairy, substitute coconut oil or olive oil in place of the butter or ghee.
~Add in other seasonings that sound good and provide variety on your table.  Some of my favorites are thyme, rosemary, and/or tarragon.
~Add sliced onions with the lemon slices...
