Directions

Preparation: Season the Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

2. Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper.

   

3. Rub the chicken with olive oil, then coat generously with Miami Mojo seasoning, ensuring the seasoning covers the entire bird.

4. Place the lemon halves and crushed garlic inside the cavity.

Prepare the Tray

1. If using vegetables, scatter the potatoes, onion and pepper around the roasting tray and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

2. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.

Cook: Roast the Chicken

1. Roast the chicken for 1 hour 10–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C.

2. Halfway through cooking, spoon some of the pan juices over the chicken to keep the skin moist and flavourful.

What to Look for at the Finish

1. The chicken skin should be golden and crisp.

2. Juices should run clear when pierced at the thickest part of the thigh.

3. The internal temperature should reach 75°C.

Serving Suggestions

1. Carve and serve with the roasted vegetables and pan juices. A fresh green salad or simple rice dish pairs perfectly with the citrus flavours.
