Crispy skin. Juicy meat. No faff.
This SPG Roast Chicken keeps it simple and lets salt, cracked pepper and garlic do the heavy lifting. Perfect for Sunday lunch, meal prep or an easy midweek roast.
Ingredients
1 whole chicken (1.5–1.8kg)
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
2 tbsp SPG Rub
1 lemon, halved
1 bulb garlic, halved
Fresh thyme (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper.
Rub olive oil or butter all over the skin - top and bottom!
Season generously with SPG, covering the entire bird.
Place lemon and garlic inside the cavity.
Roast until juices run clear and internal temp reaches 75°C. This process is anywhere from 60-90 minutes on average.
Serve carved with crispy roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and proper gravy. Spoon over the resting juices or add it into your gravy for extra flavour.
