Bring out the chicken about half an hour before use so it comes to room temperature. Pat the chicken with a kitchen towel so it is dry.

Loosen the skin on the breast of the chicken carefully sliding your fingers under the skin or with the back of a spoon.
-
Season the chicken including the cavity with salt and black pepper.
-
Finely chop the herbs (rosemary, sage, thyme and parsley, tarragon, coriander). Add chopped herbs, onions, garlic, and lemon zest to the butter.
-
Rub the herb butter generously around the chicken, under the loosened skin of the bird and all over the cavity. Stuff the cavity with the lemon and orange wedges.
-
Using the fan plus feature, set the oven temperature at 165C and the core temperature at 73C using the food probe. Roast until it reaches the core temperature.
