Ingredients
- 1 large or 2 small whole chickens
- Salt & pepper
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1/3 Cup olive oil
- 1 Tbs dried oregano
- 1/4 Tsp cayenne pepper and/or 1 tsp paprika
- 4 Large cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 Cup chicken stock
- Kitchen string to truss up your chook!
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Put your chicken on a tray or in a baking dish. Season it inside and outside all over with salt and pepper (I used about 2 -3 tsp of salt and 1/2-1 tsp of pepper)
2
Mix the rest of the marinade ingredients together and coat the outside of the chicken- If you can, lift up the skin covering the breast and tip some marinade under there too.
3
Pop the rest of the lemon that you squeezed into the cavity with any fresh herbs (optional- rosemary, oregano, thyme) then tie up the ends of the legs and tuck the tips of the wings underneath. Make sure your chicken is the right way up (see pics)
4
Add 1/4 cup chicken stock to the bottom of the dish/tray.
5
Pop it in the oven for 50-75 mins or until the internal temp reaches 75 degrees celsius. Check half way, rotate the dish and top up the chicken stock if it has evaporated.
6
Serve with the sides of your choice and reserve the pan juices to pour over the chicken and the sides if you wish.
