To make my thyme roast chicken we're going to start by making a thyme butter to go under the
0:04
chicken skin. All you need is fresh thyme, salted butter, salt and black pepper. Then carefully using
0:09
a spoon separate the skin from the flesh over the chicken breasts and the legs. Next add in your
0:15
butter and use your fingers to spread it out evenly. Then breast side up, baste the chicken
0:19
all over with a little olive oil and cover with a layer of streaky bacon. Add some chicken stock to
0:24
the pan to help keep it juicy and you'll also want to baste your chicken halfway through roasting
0:29
as well as giving your chicken great flavour the thyme butter and bacon will help keep your chicken basted while it roasts
