    Scrumptious, succulent roast, embarrassingly easy to prepare!

    Ingredients

    • 1.5kg free range chicken, preferably organic
    • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
    • 50g butter
    • Sea salt
    • Black pepper

    Directions

    1. 1. PRE-HEAT THE OVEN TO 180˚C/160˚C FAN/GAS 4
    2. 2. RINSE - Rinse the chicken thoroughly and pat dry with kitchen paper. Put it in a roasting tin.
    3. 3. STUFF - Wash the rosemary sprigs and stuff one into the body cavity of the bird. Sprinkle the rest of the rosemary leaves over the outside.
    4. 4. DOT - Cube the butter and dot it over the breast and thighs of the chicken. Season the bird with a little sea salt and a generous grinding of black pepper.
    5. 5. ROAST - Put the chicken in the oven and roast for 35 minutes. After this time, turn the bird over and continue cooking for another 35 minutes.
    6. 6. REST - Put the chicken on a plate, cover it with foil and leave it to rest for a good 15 minutes. Keep the pan juices warm.
    7. 7. SERVE - Serve the chicken doused with the cooking juices.
