An easy fool proof way to make a yummy roast chicken
Servings: 2-6
Ingredients:
1 Whole Chicken, Onion, Garlic, Lemon, Salt, Pepper, Carrots, Celery, Paprika, Cumin, Garlic Powder, Butter
Directions:
Preheat the oven to the highest setting. Cut a head of garlic and a lemon and stuff into the cavity along with a red onion (skins and all). Add salt and pepper (about a teaspoon of each). In a bowl, mix softened butter with garlic powder, paprika and cumin. Mix well and using your hand or a spoon if you wish, stuff the butter mixture under the skin and put the small amount that is left on top. Do not neglect the wings and legs. Truss the chicken and put on a roasting pan on top of largely chopped carrots, onions, celery and some whole cloves of garlic. Put the chicken in the oven. After about 20 minutes, reduce the heat to about 180 C or 300-350 F. Continue cooking for approximately 1 - 1.5 hours depending on the size of your chicken. (you could even use this recipe for turkey!!) Check it is done by pricking between the leg and thigh with your knife. If the juices run clear, it's done! Once done, leave to rest for at least 10 minutes. Let your veggies in the roasting tray carmelize a little longer while your chicken is resting.
