Just roast it in butter! And no, I did not use Paula Deen's recipe, although from the word "butter" I know you may have suspected that! However, Barefoot Contessa's Ina Garten, one of my favorite food show hosts, raves about her roasted chicken she makes for her husband every Friday. Can roasted chicken be THAT good, I thought?Oh, yes it can! AND so simple! Stuffing the cavity with salt, pepper, lemon and garlic and roasting it with vegetables is not very complex, yet it creates a delicious meal because of the little extra things that are involved. The chicken has a very delicate flavor of lemon and garlic, and not too overpowering at all. Adding a fennel bulb as one of the vegetables may seem a bizarre thing to do, but this vegetable is sweet and very pleasing when roasted. Baking potatoes in olive oil and chopped garlic in a separate pan will allow them to develop a nice crunch, which is what I always seem to miss out on when roasting chicken and veggies using other recipes.
You can find the recipe for Perfect Roast Chicken here. Now, not only the chicken is "Perfect" - check out those veggies, too!
Garlic Roasted Potatoes with a delicate crunch is how I like them! 
Mmm... Gravy...
