Ive lost count of how many messages there were asking for a chicken version and Im finally sharing it!
How to make the BEST roast chicken!
Its really easy to prepare a whole chicken for roasting.
Then simply spoon the garlic-herb-butter under the skin then spread it from the outside.
OR hold it upright and drizzle in (see photos below) whatever you find easier!
Plus, garlic burns on the skin so you dont want too much on the surface.
After the chicken is all buttered up, place it on a bed of garlic and onion.
OR used for gravy!
Its more for the perfume you get when you cut into the chicken so itseemslike you might taste it.
And this is the reason why Ido not put garlic inside oven roasted chicken.
Theres no point it doesnt get hot enough to make any difference to flavour and just steams.
Flavour bomb set, now its time for the easy part roasting.
How long does it take to roast a 2 kg chicken?
I want gravy!!
OK OK, hold the tantrum!
I have the gravy recipe in the notes.
But really, give the liquid gold a go one of these days…. Its crazy good!
I mean, its garlic butter.
