DIRECTIONS

1. Remove giblets, rinse chicken and pat dry. Saute onion, zucchini, carrot and 1 garlic clove in 1 tablespoon butter until vegetables are soft but not browned. 2. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon tarragon, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and lemon peel. Add salt and pepper to taste, let cool. Stuff chicken with vegetable mixture. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; add 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon tarragon and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 3. Roast chicken at 375 degrees for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, basting frequently with butter mixture. Cover loosely with foil if skin browns too quickly. NOTE: For outdoor cooking, roast chicken in a covered grill over indirect medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours, or on a rotisserie 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
