How To Make Roast Chicken Recipe?

1. Prepare Chicken: Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 220°C (450°F) or 200°C (430°F) for a fan oven.
2. Make Butter Mix: Mix melted butter with garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add lemon juice.
3. Prep Chicken: Loosen the skin on the chicken. Drizzle the butter mixture under the skin, then rub the rest on top. Squeeze the remaining lemon over the chicken.
4. Stuff and Tie: Stuff the chicken with lemon wedges and rosemary. Tie the drumsticks and tuck in the wings. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Roast: Place the chicken in a pan with onion and garlic. Roast for 10 minutes at 220°C, then lower to 180°C for 1 hour 15 minutes, basting halfway.
6. Rest: Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips:

• Baste the Chicken: Baste the chicken twice while cooking to keep it juicy and crispy.
• Let the Chicken Warm Up: Take the chicken out 30 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
• Loosen the Skin Gently: Be careful when loosening the skin, so it doesn’t tear. This helps the butter soak in.
• Tie the Drumsticks: Tying the drumsticks helps the chicken cook evenly and stay in shape.
• Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes after cooking for tender, juicy meat.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover chicken cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
• Freeze: Wrap the chicken tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place it in a container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat a pan with some oil or butter, add the chicken, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
