Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl mix together herbs, salt, and olive oil. Massage mixture under the skin of the breast and all over the outside of the bird. Season the inside of the cavity with a little extra salt and stuff in the garlic head for aromatics. Tuck wings under the thighs and tie up the legs using kitchen twine.

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Meanwhile, place birds on a lined half sheet pan, breast side up. Roast until temperature reaches 165° F in the breast or 170° in the thickest part of the thigh, about 60 minutes, depending.

Remove from oven and let rest, covered loosely {parchment paper with a towel draped over the top works well}, about 10 minutes.

Carve bird of choice and serve. After dinner, pick through any remaining meat, carve the second bird, keep the bones for broth and roll the leftover meat into your next few meals!
