• 1 small combava
• 1 head of garlic
• 175g Lehmann butter
• 1 sprig of lemon thyme
• salt
• freshly ground pepper or voatsiperifery pepper

Preparation and cooking

1. Chop the tarragon and set aside. Zest the grapefruit, lemon and kaffir lime in a mixing bowl. Add a dash of lemon juice, grapefruit and kaffir lime. Mix with the butter that you have previously softened slightly to work with your citrus fruits. Season lightly with salt and pepper as desired, preferably with a more fragrant, more floral voatsiperifery pepper. Add the chopped tarragon to the worked butter.
2. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
3. Crush the head of garlic on the flat side of your knife. Stuff the poultry with this garlic and a sprig of lemon thyme. Also add salt and pepper.
4. Massage the tarragon, citrus and pepper butter over the entire surface of the poultry.
5. Bake at 190°C for 15 minutes and continue cooking at 160°C. Cooking should last between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the size of the poultry and the doneness of your oven. Baste the chicken with its juice every 15 minutes.
6. Sprinkle your poultry to serve with a few fresh tarragon leaves. Serve !
