This is from Mark Bittman's column in the NYTimes. His recipes are often LC friendly. I made this chicken dish the other night. It is so simple, delicious and foolproof. Enjoy!

Recipe: Roast Chicken With Herbs and Butter
The Minimalist: Butter Saves the Day (August 28, 2002)
ime: 40 minutes

4 chicken breast halves or 8 thighs or drumsticks, or any combination
8 pats of butter, for a total of 2 or 3 tablespoons
4 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves or 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon leaves or 2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill or chervil, or to taste
Salt and pepper
1 lemon, cut into quarters.

1. Heat oven to 500 degrees. Loosen skin of chicken and insert a pat or two of butter, depending on size of chicken pieces, and a portion of herbs under skin. Sprinkle skin with salt and pepper and place pieces, skin side up, in a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate chicken.

2. Roast, turning pan from front to back once after 15 minutes. (Do not turn pieces.) Chicken is usually done when nicely browned, 10 to 15 minutes later (about 30 minutes total), but you can cut into a piece or two to make sure juices are running clear. Serve hot or warm, with lemon wedges.

Yield: 4 servings.
