VERSION WITH INGREDIENTS UNDER THE SKIN
Prepare the ingredients from the BASIC version, mix a spoon of soft butter and herbs ( thyme, parsley,sage,rosemary, etc)
Loosen the membrane on the breast, legs and thighs of the chicken by running your fingers carefully under the chicken's skin to
separate it from the flesh. Be extra gentle so you don't tear the skin off the bird. Carefully place a bit of the mixed butter where you can.
Massage the bird to push ingredients all over.
