  • There's minimal prep needed for this easy roast chicken. No trivets, no butter under the skin, just a simple, tasty and juicy roast chicken with a big jug of delicious gravy. This is the best way to roast a chicken.
    The key formula for the perfect roast chicken is to cook for 45 minutes per kg (2.2lbs), plus an extra 20 minutes at 180C/350F - until the internal temperature of the chicken is 75C/165F.
    Free printable recipe here: www.kitchensan...
    Ingredients for the roast chicken:
    Whole chicken - 1.75kg - 2kg ideally free-range
    1 tbsp olive oil
    ½ tsp salt
    ½ tsp black pepper
    ¼ tsp dried thyme
    ½ lemon chopped into two wedges (optional)
    Gravy
    Meat juices from your roasted chicken
    3 chicken stock cubes crumbled
    3 cups (720ml) hot vegetable stock - from your boiled/steamed vegetables and potatoes
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/4 tsp gravy browning optional
    2 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch
    5 tbsp cold water

      Yes exactly.. To the point... No messing about.... I can't believe she was cooking a SunD roast at 11 years of age while her mum was at work .. Unbelievable ... Her mum would have had a visit from social services nowadays 🤣 Top marks to our very lovely British Nicky ✅ and to her mum ✅ ✅ ✅

    The way to use the gravy of chicken is really good. It's like making steak sauce

  • @bsmith8950
    @bsmith8950 2 роки тому +2

    I always cook my roast chicken breast side down on a bed of onions and unskinned garlic , that way the breast meat doesn't dry out on account of all the juices running down into the breast as it cooks. One thing though you don't get a crispy skin, but the chicken is moist. The caramelised onions give the gravy color and the roasted garlic can be squished out into the gravy and the whole lot strained through a strainer leaving nice smooth gravy. Hope you don't mind me saying.

    • @johnmacaroni105
      @johnmacaroni105 2 роки тому +1

      Different ways of doing it I suppose.. But I reckon most people like the crispy skin.... I'll try your way at some point, being a complete novice at cooking even the basic meals Nicky is a godsend and your comment gave others ideas.... My Kitchen is now my Sanctuary... I don't think I'll ever get a takeaway meal again, what a lazy so-and-so I've been.

    Nicky. Gets my stamp of approval. I tore off a chunk of tender breast meat and doused it the wonderful gravy. Oh-so-delicious. We're talking PROPER gravy! Not that thin,appalling,tasteless brown water they serve in Pubs and fancy restaurants.

    Awesome video. my mum taught me this exact technique including adding the vegetable water for added flavour. I use arrowroot rather than corn starch as I find it mixes easier and results in a better gravy texture.

      Her mum probably got Nicky to show how competent she was cooking different foods, writing the timings down, peeling vegetables without cutting fingers off, watching her achieve all these things, then saying can you have SunD roast dinner ready for when I get home from work at 3pm 🤣 believe it or not all children throughout the previous generations had to help out in the home, cooking, cleaning and fetching and carrying, it was their home as well,,, not a bloody hotel 🤣 🇬🇧 👍

  • @SM-ui3hc
    @SM-ui3hc 2 роки тому +1

    Proceeds to season chicken🍗 with just🧂 and pepper🤦‍♀️ looks a different colour on the inside....
    I do mini slices on my chicken and for the spice i mix olive oil, onions, garlic, a drizzle of lemon, dried mixed herbes, chicken seasoning, a bit of barbecue sauce, chicken tikka masala and some ginger powder. Stuff the chicken with the leftover lemon, onion, garlic and spice. I try not to add salt as it is in the chicken seasoning and masala.
    For veggies I add a little bit of seasoning and vegetable stock and olive oil.
    Leftover gravy could also be added to the chicken at the end.

    There is a bunch of fine feathers on that chicken that was not properly cleaned off and the seasoning mix is so paltry and sad. Not to mention, the application, which is a very light surface sprinkling, does not allow for penetration into the meat ensuring depth of flavour.
