Recipes.
Roast Chicken | Serves 4 |
1.2kg chicken
5 pieces garlic
1 small bunch fresh rosemary
Olive oil
salt & pepper
Wash and clean chicken thoroughly, removing any fat deposits inside the cavity. Pat dry with paper towel.
Place the garlic and 1/2 the bunch of rosemary in the cavity. Tuck the wings back and tie the base of the chicken with cooking string so that the legs are crossed and securely positioned.
Brush the chicken with oil and spread over the remaining rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken on a greased sheet of oil and curl in the edges. The foil will hold in all the juices.
Reduce heat to 160˚C and cook for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes or until cooked.
Note: To determine whether chicken is thoroughly cooked, insert a skewer into the thigh. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.

Peel potatoes and cut in half. Cut pumpkin into 4 wedges without peeling skin.
Place the vegetables on a greased piece of foil. Season with salt and pepper.
