Ingredients

1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup self-rising flour
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large roasting pan, place the chicken and pour the melted butter over it, ensuring it’s well-coated.
In a bowl, mix the self-rising flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken to create a light crust.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.
Serve the roasted chicken with the steamed green beans on the side, drizzled with any remaining butter from the pan.
