Instructions

Wash:

• a 6 lb. roasting chicken.

Pat dry with paper towel, and salt and pepper inside and out.

In a bowl, use a fork to combine:

• 1½ tbsp. olive oil,
• 1½ tbsp. butter,
• 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced),
• 1 tbsp. fresh sage,
• 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary,
• the juice from 1 fresh lemon.

Rub this concoction all over the chicken until it starts to giggle. Then put your bird on a spit and tie both legs and wings.

Place metal or foil baking dish directly below to catch drippings (this also prevents flare-ups). Barbecue at medium heat until thermometer reads 180°F (approx. 1½-2 hours).
