Let the chicken rest in the oven for ten minutes.
Finally, the Roast Chicken is ready to serve for everyone to enjoy!
- Use herbs and spices to coat the chicken and stuff the cavity.
- Check the doneness of the chicken - the flesh should be opaque and oozing with juices.
- If you don’t have access to a miller, you can use a food processor, a strainer and a wooden spoon, a potato ricer, or even a cheese grater and hand blender.
- For best results, rotate the roaster every 16 minutes.
- If you have a meat thermometer, you’ll know if the chicken is cooked if the thermometer reads 165°C to 190°C.
- Moreover, marinate the chicken for at least an hour or overnight. The longer you marinate, the tastier it will be. Pat the seasoning on the chicken to seal in the spices.
- Before putting the powdered spices, pat the chicken dry with a kitchen towel. This removes some of the moisture to prepare the chicken skin for the dry ingredients.
- To prevent dried chicken texture, remember to baste your chicken with olive oil or any other oil before and after you cook it in the oven.
