Instructions
Roughly chop the tarragon leaves and lemon zest into a fine mince.
In a mixing bowl, place tarragon leaves and lemon zest, followed by the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Whisk well.
Pull the skin apart from the chicken meat very carefully with your fingers, and tuck cubes of butter in various places under the chicken skin.
Pour marinade over the chicken and under the skin, rubbing to coat well.
Cover with foil and roast in oven at 400 F or in your center grill (on low) with two outer burners on high.
Cook for roughly 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes or so. Pull off at 165 F, tested with a cooking thermometer in the thigh or deep into the breast.
