My best is Tarragon/Lemon Chicken. Rub chicken all over with half packet of butter (yes this sounds like alot but it makes the sauce). Juice two lemons and pour this over chicken. Season chicken liberally with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stuff chicken with fresh tarragon, lemon halves (you will have to quarter them) and a couple of cloves of smashed garlic. Roast in oven at 200 degrees celsius for one hour, basting with juices every 20 minutes. Turn oven off and slightly open oven door leaving chicken to rest for at least 15 minutes while you get salad or veggies ready. To serve, remove chicken from pan and add a splash of white wine to sauce on pan and stir to make gravy. Strain gravy before serving with chicken. Mash potato and green salad is nice with this.

(leave the door closed) Opening and closing the oven will increase the cooking and the oven temp making it longer to cook your Chicken. Then reduce the heat to 350F and cook till you have 175-180 internal temp 18-22 minutes per lbs approx depending on your oven as each oven is different (check temp in meat not near a bone, test at the thigh). Once you remove from the oven after cooking turn it over and let it rest covered with tin foil or parchment paper on it's breast for 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the chicken, to allow the juices back into the breast meat, Juices should be running clear if not it is not cooked.
