2 tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic
Salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 lb. chicken

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt the butter. Mince the garlic. Combine the melted butter, the garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, the paprika, basil, thyme and cayenne pepper. Brush the entire chicken with the butter mixture and put it in a roasting pan. Roast until done, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Tent with foil if the chicken starts to brown too much. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with pan juices. Makes 4 servings.
