step 1
Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan/gas mark 6.

Pick the leaves from three of the thyme sprigs (4 sprigs) and mix with the butter (75 g) and half the garlic powder (1 tbsp), herbes de Provence (1 tbsp), salt (1/2 tsp) and black pepper (1/2 tsp).

Gently ease the skin away from the flesh of the chicken (1) at the neck, and carefully rub the butter mixture underneath between the skin and flesh, reserving a little butter for the outside. Rub the remaining butter all over the skin.

Stuff half a lemon (1/2) and the remaining thyme sprig inside the bird, then scatter the remaining garlic powder (1 tbsp) herbes de Provence (1 tbsp), salt (1/2 tsp) and black pepper (1/2 tsp).
step 5
Cook for around 50-60 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
