Simple Chicken Roast

Yes, yes it just got simpler! I know that many of you hardworking mums and dads would still be fishing around for recipes to prep for Christmas lunch or dinner.







And there are some of you who are spending a quieter Christmas time owing to loss in the family or friends. You got to eat though right?



*This was before I learnt to bake breads ;) *Store bought* And also keeping it simple and just making a roast and a simple green salad. PS I still buy a lot of breads :D



So may be you don't feel in the festive mood this time and do the whole Christmas party /decorations shebang. This may help you make that simple roast for the family to sit down, reminisce over good times of old and remember your loved ones in prayer and good thoughts.






Not much more to say other than, this recipe is simple and straightforward and so I won't go on. Just diving right into this recipe.





What you need:

  • 1200 gms chicken (skin-on) and cleaned
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • EVOO (Extra Virgin olive oil)
  • Dried Parsley leaves


The Make:
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Roasting Time: 1 hour | Serves 4-5 adults

1. In a small mixing bowl, mix some EVOO, salt, pepper and parsley.
2. Marinate the chicken all over with the EVOO mix.
3. Place the chicken over a wire rack with a roasting tray below it to hold the juices and pop it into the oven at 180°C.
4. Roast for up to an hour. Occasionally baste the chicken with an oil brush from the juices dripping into the pan. You can baste the chicken at the 20 minute, 40 minute mark and then just before turning off the oven.

Rest the chicken before carving into it.

Bon Appetit!
