Herb Roasted Chicken

Roast Chicken is at least a once a month meal for my family.  And tonight, I’m doing a herb roasted chicken, which is simple and back a ton of flavor.  While I’m using thyme and rosemary as the primary herbs,  you can use just about any fresh green herbs that you like.  I finely chop them, add some butter to make a paste, and then rub that herb butter under the chicken skin.
