I am also looking for a whole chicken/hen marinade that does not utilize “strange” items. Something down to earth that keeps the chicken tender with no strange flavors. As I stated previously, my daughter is picky 
I would like something similar to the marinade found on such chicken as Applebee’s chicken, just something to kick it up a notch
Melt olive oil & butter in a pan
Add fresh finely chopped rosemary
Add fresh finely chopped Basil
Add some tarragon from a bottle
cracked pepper
Sea salt
Mix well, rub all over chix incl inside cavity
Put in large bowl, cover–Put in fridg for min 2 hrs–Overnite better.
In over at 325–NOT 350—cover for first 15 min–resst of the way uncovered at 15 min per pound.
