Take an organic freerange roaster that will feed 6 comfortably, wash inside and out and trim excess fat. Pat dry and set aside.
Ask the hotline about this step!In a small bowl put softened butter and dry mustard, whisk until smooth.
Ask the hotline about this step!Add pepper to taste and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Mix again gently and set aside.
Ask the hotline about this step!Gather organic vegetables wash and cut into large bite size pieces except for the potatoes which will be fine as they are.
Ask the hotline about this step!Toss in a large bowl with smoked herb sea salt, pepper, zest and oil until well covered. Put all veggies in a low roasting dish that you can serve to the table.
Ask the hotline about this step!When chicken is completly dry put a generous amount of salt and pepper on the inside and a large yellow onion quartered.
Ask the hotline about this step!Take chicken firmly in one hand and use the other to scoop the beauty paste and smother the outside of the chicken thickly. It is important it is very well covered. If the chicken is larger than you thought, make more paste, it only takes a minute. Don't worry about the very bottom.
Ask the hotline about this step!Place the chicken in a roasting pan that is not much larger than the chicken. Do not worry about the amount of butter - it melts off and leaves a light crisp crust of mustard that is amazingly mild and rich. DO NOT BASTE.
Ask the hotline about this step!If you like save a little of the butter for the veggies to glaze them at the end. Roast the veggies at a higher heat, 450 for 30-45 minutes and turn so they do not stick.
Ask the hotline about this step!Cook the chicken at a high heat, 400 for twenty minutes, then turn down to 350 until done -about 1 1/4 hours. Remove from pan and rest 10 min.
Ask the hotline about this step!Serve on a platter whole as the crust will be golden and textured, the interior incredibly moist. Carve at the table. (This works equally well with chicken pieces if you are just learning and don't know how to carve). Enjoy
