Cast-iron Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken

"This cast‑iron roasted whole chicken delivers the perfect balance of crispy, golden skin and tender, juicy meat. A simple mixture of softened butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper is rubbed generously over the chicken, and tucked under the skin, infusing it with flavor as it roasts. Starting the chicken in a cast-iron skillet at 475°F helps the skin crisp instantly, while the reduced heat ensures the inside cooks evenly and stays moist. After an hour of roasting and a brief rest, you’re rewarded with a beautifully browned, richly flavored chicken that serves four."
