Lemon & Herb Roast Chicken
Serves: 4 • Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 whole chicken (±1.5 kg)
- 2 lemons
- 3-4 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 3 tbsp olive oil/melted butter
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or mixed herbs)
- 1 tsp salt & black pepper
Optional
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary / parsley
- 1 onion, quartered
- 3–4 potatoes, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
Method:
Preheat the Comfee 67L Built-in Electric Oven to 190°C.
Pat the chicken dry and rub it with olive oil or melted butter. Mix the garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper, then rub the seasoning all over the chicken and inside the cavity. Place one lemon (halved) and the onion inside the chicken for extra flavour.
Arrange the potatoes and carrots in a roasting tray and place the chicken on top. Roast for 1 hour 15–30 minutes, until the skin is golden and the juices run clear. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon over the chicken before serving and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Serving Tip
A spoonful of pan juices over the chicken makes it even more flavourful.
