Preparation Time: 1 hour
Serving Size: 2

Ingredients:

- 1 small spring chicken (approximately 900 g)
- 50 g soft butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 200 g green asparagus
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Season the spring chicken with salt, black pepper, and crushed garlic. Brush the surface with soft butter.
3. Place the chicken in a baking dish and roast in the oven for about 45-50 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked and the skin is beautifully golden brown.
