Steps:
- For the chimichurri butter: Place all the ingredients expect for the butter in a small food processor and pulse until the herbs are finely chopped. Add the butter and continue pulsing until you have smooth creamy mix. Can be made ahead of time, but should be brought back to room temperature before using to prepare the roasted chicken.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Rub about half of the butter chimichurri all over chicken, including under the skin. Save the rest of the chimichurri butter for basting and for serving.
- Place vegetables (onions, potatoes, etc) in a roasting pan. Place the chicken over the veggies. Bake the chicken, uncovered, at 425F for 30 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 400F, baste chicken and bake for another 50-60 minutes, basting every 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. During the last 5-10 minutes, add additional chimichurri butter or chimichurri sauce over the top.
