Roasted Chicken Ingredients for marinade ½ Dijon mustard ¼ cup soy sauce 1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh is best) Method Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a wire whisk until ingredients have mixed in well. The marinade should have a smooth and creamy consistency Ingredients for Chicken 1 uncooked chicken 3 lemons Fresh mixed herbs eg parsley, oregano, thyme or sage Method Preheat oven to 2200C Clean chicken well inside and outside with a moist paper towel, then pat dry. Stuff cavities with lemon rinds and fresh herbs and tie chicken legs together Cover the chicken with the marinade adding some cracked pepper and remaining herbs to the top. Place breast side down in a greased baking dish and bake for 35 mins. Regularly baste the chicken. After 35 minutes take the chicken out and turn it over, place back in the oven for a further 35 minutes and continue with the regular basting. When the chicken is cooked, cover it with foil and set aside for 5-10 minutes to rest. Some further notes... Overcooking your chicken will cause it to dry out. As a guide, a 1.5kg whole stuffed chicken takes about 30 minutes per 500g of weight to cook in an oven preheated to 180°C. To test if the chicken is ready, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear with no sign of pink, this indicates that the chicken is cooked.
