Ingredients:

185g Western Star Original Spreadable

2 shallots, finely chopped

2 tbsp oregano, finely chopped

1 lemon, zested

Salt and pepper, to season

1.8-2kg whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry

15g Western Star Original Spreadable

Method:

Preheat oven to 200°C
Place 185g of Western Star Spreadable, shallots, oregano and lemon zest into a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper then mix until well combined.
Use your fingers to carefully loosen the skin from the breast meat and create a pocket all the way down the breast. Push the Spreadable mixture under the skin and spread it over the breast. Cut the lemon into quarters and place the chicken cavity.
Place the chicken in a roasting tray and gently rub with salt and the remaining 15g of Western Star Spreadable over the skin.
Place the chicken into the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until golden and cooked though. Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
