Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. Whole Chicken 1800 grams
  • Salt and Pepper from grinder
  • 1 pcs. Lemon organic
  • 1 pcs. Pointed Cabbage
  • 2 pcs. Leek
  • 1 pcs. Onion
  • 1 pcs. Carrots large
  • Thyme fresh
  • fresh rosemary
  • Sage Leaves fresh
  • 1/2 bottle White Wine about
  • Butter

Instructions

  • Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Rinse the lemon and score it all around to a depth of 1 centimeter.
  • Press the lemon into the end of the chicken.
  • Cut the pointed cabbage into large pieces. Peel the onion and cut it into large wedges.
  • Peel the carrot and cut it into pieces.
  • Cut the leek into thick slices.
  • Place the cabbage, onion, carrot, and leek at the bottom of a large baking dish.
  • Pour in white wine and place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
  • Place herbs and plenty of butter pats on top of the chicken, so the butter melts into the skin and makes it extra crispy.
  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit) (convection). Put the chicken in the preheated oven and cook it for the first 15 minutes.
  • Then reduce the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) (convection) and cook the chicken for an additional 45 minutes. The chicken is now ready to serve.
