Background
This zingy roasted chicken with lemon and coriander is an ideal meal for a Sunday roast - or maybe for midweek as a laid-back dinner party. Serve it with your favourite roasted veggies or a mash and a green salad.
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken
- ½ onion
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 Tbsp soft butter or dairy free spread
- 1 handful of fresh coriander
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Pat-dry the chicken and put it in baking tray.
- Combine the garlic with the lemon zest, cumin, coriander and the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- Rub the salt and pepper into the chickenβs cavity. Put the half onion in the cavity. Using your fingers, loosen the skin under the breasts and legs of the chicken. Rub the spiced butter under the skin coating as much of the breast and leg meat as you can.
- Rub the outside of the chicken with the remaining paste.
- Place the chicken breast-side down in the roasting tray and put it in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Turn the chickens breast-side up, squeeze the lemon all over the chicken and stuff the lemon halves into the cavity of the chickens together with the fresh coriander.
- Turn the oven down to 180C and roast the chicken for another 60-90 minutes, until golden and clear juice is running from the thighs (poke it with a skewer).
- Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
