ROAST CHICKEN
Preparation Time:
10 minutes
Cooking Time:
80 minutes
Ingredients:
1 X 1.8kg free range chicken
1 tbs dried rosemary
1 tbs butter
1 clove of garlic
1 lemon
1 tbs plain flour
1 oven proof roasting bag
Method:
1. Place the chicken on a clean cutting board.
2. Chop the garlic in half and mash into the butter and dried rosemary to form a paste.
Smother the outside of the chicken with the paste.
3. Cut the lemon in half and place this inside the cavity of the chicken. Place the flour inside
the roasting bag then transfer the prepared chicken inside the floured roasting bag and
secure with a bag tie. Prick the top of the bag 4 times to let the steam escape while
cooking.
4. Place the wire rack on the lowest shelf, turn the temperature/cooking function knob to
190°C and preheat oven for 10 minutes. Once preheated, place the chicken in the bag on
the bake pan on top of the wire rack and bake for 80 minutes or until the juices are running
clear. Be careful not to pierce the bag when you take the roasted chicken out of the oven.
5. Rest for at least 10 minutes before serving and reserve juices to make delicious gravy.
