Start by making anchovy butter using 2 tins of anchovies and 4 cloves of garlic.

Add black pepper to the anchovy butter mixture.

Soften butter by cutting it into small pieces and letting it sit at room temperature.

Prepare to roast the chicken by selecting two whole chickens, one about 5 pounds and the other 3.5 pounds.

Use a braiser for the larger chicken and a small cast iron for the smaller one.

Truss the chicken legs by piercing the piece of fat at the end of the chicken and tucking the legs in.

Place onions and garlic around the chickens in the braiser.

Add thyme to the roasting setup for flavor.

Roast the chickens in the oven, ensuring they are cooked through.
