Preparation
Side-by-side mode
- In a bowl, mix the ingredients for perfumed butter.
- Set onion pieces, garlic cloves, lemon, and Bay leaf inside the chicken. Scrub the chicken with lemon juice and a sponge, which is what's exceeding with paper towels. Spread perfumed butter over the entire chicken surface. Set the chicken on a plate and cover it with a plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 12 hours.
- When it's time for the cooking, preheat the oven to 260°F (125°C). Set the chicken in a roasting pan or on a baking plate. Tie chicken thighs with butcher strings. Spread vegetables, except asparagus, around the chicken. Cover the plate with aluminium paper and oven bake 4 hours and 45 minutes, while spraying the chicken with its cooking juice every 30 minutes.
- Add asparagus to the roasting pan, replace the aluminum paper over the plate and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
