Sunday Lunch
ROAST CHICKEN DINNER
Cooked Sunday dinner this weekend, had a free-range chicken and the usual trimmings. Now chicken at time can be a little bland at times so here are my top tips for ensuring you get a flavoursome bird!
You pay for what you get, try and go for free range corn fed chicken, the cheaper ones that you get at the supermarket tend to be grown inside in confined spaces, get no exercise etc A happy chicken is a tasty chicken.
Mix up some herbs, what ever takes your fancy with some butter, lemon thyme goes great with chicken, I also like to mix in some garlic, salt and pepper. Then make a pocket between the skin and the breast meat and push the butter in smooth it out to get an even covering. Smooth the remaining butter over the chicken, this will help to baste the chicken whilst cooking whilst imparting a great flavour. Inserting half a lemon into the cooking cavity also helps to keep the bird moist.
Then stick the chicken in the oven around gas mark 5, about 45 mins per kilo plus 20 mins, once done leave to rest for 10 minutes under some foil to keep it warm.
