A Delicious Roast Chicken


I baked a marinated chicken yesterday and it was really good! Unfortunately it has been marinated when I bought it at ALDI store. To those of you who doesn't live in Australia or Germany, ALDI's is a great store that is also awesome for the family's budget but the quality of their products are just amazing.

Normally I would just bake my chicken without any seasoning at all. However if I have a little more time to make a delicious baked chicken this is what I do.

You need:

1 Whole chicken
Salt
Peppercorn steak seasoning or any other seasoning you have in your pantry
Butter
1 stick Celery
1 small Carrot
1 whole Onion
1 whole Garlic

What To Do:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
1. Wash the chicken then pat with kitchen towel.
2. Rub salt and peppercorn steak seasoning in the whole chicken as well as inside the cavity.
3. Cut celery and carrots into chunky pieces. Stab the garlic a few times to allow the garlic's flavour into the chicken.
4. Put the celery, carrots, whole garlic, whole onion and a few pieces of butter inside the cavity.
5. Insert some butter into the breast skin as well.
6. Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours depending in the size of the chicken.
7. Serve it with salad or your favorite steam vegetables.
