Roast Chicken
Ingredients
1 whole chicken
1 bunch rosemary
1 bunch thyme
1 head of garlic
1/2 a lemon
balsamic vinegar
olive oil
salt and pepper
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200c. Make a slit where the legs start from the body and where the wings start. Put the chicken into a roasting pan.
2. Break the garlic into cloves, there's no need to peel. Take the leaves off 2 springs of the rosemary and thyme.
3. Stuff the cavity with lemon, rosemary, thyme and garlic, reserving a few garlic cloves. Rub salt, pepper, rosemary leaves and thyme leaves onto the chicken. Brush with olive oil.
4. Bake for 1 1/2 - 2hrs. Checking and basting with the juices from the pan every 30mins.
5. In the last 20mins of baking, brush the chicken with balsamic vinegar - this will give it colour. Brush again in the last 10mins.
