Recipe for homemade chicken in the oven
Gastronomic First Aid
I really enjoy roasting chicken on top of potatoes and root vegetables, which absorb the fat, juices, and flavors from the chicken.
Løgismose free-range chicken is good value for money and has a delicious meat texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pcs. Whole Chicken good free-range or organic chicken
- 1 pcs. Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 bunch fresh rosemary
- 1 kg Potato
- 1 kg Root Vegetables mixed with e.g., onions or pumpkin
- Olive Oil bit
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Peel and cut root vegetables into coarse pieces and toss with a bit of olive oil, season with salt and place them in a roasting pan. Place the chicken on top and add slices of lemon, chopped garlic, and rosemary on top. Drizzle a bit with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Bake in a preheated oven at about 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 1 hour until the chicken is cooked through. Place the chicken on a cutting board and give the root vegetables a blast on high heat for a few minutes until they are well browned. Carve the chicken and serve with the root vegetables, tzatziki, and green salad.
