Report
45 minute roast chicken. The ultimate comfort food and on the table in under an hour. Crispy skin, succulent meat and simple to make.

Ingredients
- 1.3 kg chicken (the best you can afford)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoon rosemary leaves
- 50 g butter soft
- ½ teaspoon black pepper cracked
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Remove the chicken from the fridge for an hour before cooking. Remove any trussing or string so the chicken is sitting freely.
- Pre-heat the oven to 230ºC/Gas Mark 8/450ºF
- Finely chop the rosemary, then peel and finely chop (or crush) the garlic.
- Add these to a bowl along with the butter, add the salt and black pepper and mix well with a fork. .
- Spoon the butter mixture into the cavity of the chicken, don't worry about scraping the bowl, you will use the leftovers in a moment.
- Place the chicken into a roasting tin and use your fingers to gently massage over the remnants of the butter mixture.
- If you have a half a lemon hanging around (from a sneaky G&T earlier???) then shove that into the cavity too
- Season the top with a little extra salt and then place in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes.
- It is important not to open the door during the cooking time. Set your timer and don't touch.
- Transfer the chicken to a chopping board and leave it in a warm place to rest for 10 minutes.
