A roast chicken always is celebratory. The vibrantly colored and intensely flavored vegetables that are cooked alongside here seem only to underline this, offering their own brightness and brio, sunny in taste as well as mood. A super-reliable Roast Chicken recipe that is seasoned inside and out by packing sauteed vegetables, lemon slices and fresh herbs into the cavity, then rubbing the skin with butter.

Steps

60 minutes

1

Crush the ginger and garlic to paste. Make a mixture of the ginger - garlic paste with the dry spices – chilli, turmeric, thyme, rosemary, good pinch of salt and then lemon juice and butter.
2

Prick the chicken and draw some cuts over it, so the spices can get inside. Now rub the mixture over the chicken as well as inside the cavity. Slide some mixture between the skin and flesh of the chicken.
3

Following morning get the chicken to room temperature. Now give a good spice massage to the chicken and if required add some more butter and check for seasoning. Cut the lemon and onion into half and pop into the cavity and then bind the legs and wings with the help of tooth pick.
4

Heat the oven to 180 degree Celsius. In the meantime marinate the vegetables with oil, pepper, rosemary and salt.
Place the marinated chicken in a baking tray, breast side up and lay the vegetables around the chicken. Bake it for 60 minutes.
5

When roasting the potatoes and onions they tend to get burnt or too dry. So after 45 minutes of baking, sprinkle some water over the vegetables and try to give a quick turn over to the veggies.
When the chicken is cooked, take the tray out of the oven and cover it with tin foil for 15 minutes allowing the chicken to rest in the flavors.

Before serving the Roast don’t forget to remove the toothpicks. Carefully cut down between the thighs and the breast. Cut through the wings and drumstick and pull the leg off.
