Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, herbs, spring onion, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Using poultry shears, cut down either side of the backbone of each chicken.
Discard the backbones and gently flatten the chickens.
Carefully loosen the skin from the breastbone and legs of each chicken.
Gently spread half of the herb butter mixture under the skin of each chicken, ensuring it gets evenly distributed.
Tuck the wings and neck skin inward.
Place the chickens on a rack in a shallow baking dish.
Brush the remaining herb butter mixture over the top of each chicken.
Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
