Rosemary Infused Butter and Lemon Roasted Chicken

"Rosemary is such an awesome herb. It has a piney aroma and a distinctively sharp flavour. I’m always looking for new ways to use this herb in my cooking. Infusing butter with rosemary was an obvious choice, and basting a whole chicken with rosemary infused butter was a match made in heaven (in kitchen heaven that is). Rosemary also goes really well with lemon and of course lemon goes really well with chicken (are you following my line of thoughts here? :) ). So it did not take a lot of thinking to make this awesome chicken!. The skin of the chicken is crispy and golden brown, the chicken, juicy and full of flavour!"
