Baked and Roast Chicken Recipes

Directions

Tie the cavity of the chicken, if you wish you can choose to season the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper before you do this.

Chop your onion, carrot and celery.

Heat olive oil in the baking pan over lowish heat and add the carrots, onion and rosemary. Stir through occasionaly.

After 10 minutes add your chicken into pan and cook on high for 15minutes turning occasionaly. You just want to get the surfaces of the chicken browning nicely. Add some salt and pepper and to season the chicken, then pour in some hot water into the bottom of the pan.

Lower the heat and cover the pan. Cook the chicken for a further 45 to 50 minutes, the water in the bottom of the pan should stop the chicken drying out too much and keep the meat moist. You can spoon over some of the juices from the bottom of the pan occasionaly to keep the flavour on the meat. Remember to replace the lid of the pan so it doesn’t go dry.

Remove the chicken, slice and serve with vegetables.
