Ready In
- Rinse chicken and allow to air-dry for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Beat butter, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest, chives, sesame oil, thyme, salt, black pepper, and coriander in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Loosen skin of chicken over breast and thighs with your fingers; generously coat entire chicken with butter mixture, including inside cavity. Insert butter mixture beneath loosened skin.
- Place chicken on a rack set into a roasting pan with breast side down. Cover chicken with aluminum foil, sealing foil to roasting pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Uncover pan, turn chicken over so breast side faces up, and roast until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 20 more minutes.
- Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Continue to roast chicken until skin is golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Let chicken rest 10 minutes before carving.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- This is a fantastic turkey recipe. Prepare with the proportionate amount of ingredients and then cook turkey according to the recommendations; just flip the turkey at 3/4 of total cooking time.

The only changes I made were to go a little short on the sesame oil (which I didn't really need to do but didn't want to ruin it for me) and to use scallions rather than chives. I was hesitant ...

I don't think that as much butter called for is necessary. After prepping this chicken there was butter everywhere, and it took me forever to wash all the butter off my hands. I also would hav...
