Level:
A classic roast chicken that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Perfect for a family Sunday dinner.
Ingredients
- whole chicken
- Potatoes (cut into chunks)
- Garlic cloves
- Rosemary
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1 lemon
Preparation
Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels. This ensures a crispy skin.
Seasoning
Rub the entire chicken with olive oil. Generously season with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and dried herbs.
Stuffing
Place half a lemon, a head of garlic cut in half, and fresh rosemary sprigs inside the cavity for extra aroma.
Roasting
Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
Resting
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving. This keeps it juicy.
