Tuscan Butter Roast Chicken

Roasted chickens are the perfect Sunday supper. Season the chicken well, in this case with the most amazing Tuscan butter, and throw whatever vegetables you have around it and you've set yourself up for a week's worth of meals. Use your leftovers in a chicken salad sandwich or even turn it into chicken noodle soup!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 
  (3-lb.) whole chicken
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Place a large skillet in oven and preheat to 450°. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temp while oven preheats and you prepare remaining ingredients.
