Comfort Food Challenge: A Roast Dinner Feast – Garlic, Lemon and Rosemary Chicken | My Soho Times

I made this dish as part of the My Soho Times x Co-op Collaboration “Comfort Food Under £60 Challenge”. This was my chosen dish as it is a family favourite. Who doesn’t love a flavoursome Roast Chicken? With Christmas approaching I felt that this was the perfect way to get in the Christmas spirit!

Ingredients:

1 Co-op Whole Chicken (roughly 1.5kg)

3 sprigs of fresh Rosemary

5 Garlic Cloves

4 Lemons (for zest and to stuff the chicken)

25g Butter

Salt and Pepper

Oil

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and then finely chop your rosemary, zest 4 lemons and crush your garlic
2. Melt 25g butter and mix in your chopped rosemary, lemon zest and garlic, add some oil if need be
3. Add salt and pepper to your chicken, be sure to cover it well
4. Using a pastry brush, coat your chicken all over with the garlic butter mix you prepared earlier
5. Squeeze lemon all over the chicken and stuff the chicken with half a lemon.
6. Place the chicken in the oven, check after 50 minutes and coat with the chicken juice in the tray
7. Leave the chicken in the oven for another 20 minutes or until cooked (I always double-check with a temperature probe!)
8. Serve with some crispy roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, gravy, and vegetables and pair it with red wine…
9. ENJOY!
