CHICKEN

 

 

 

 

 Chicken is much cheaper and healthier  then red meat. Problem is find a tasty and high quality chicken. They say organic free range chickens are permitted to roam freely , eat natural diets and free of antibiotics.  I hope all are true .

INGREDIENTS
1,5kg-3lb organic  free range chicken
3 tbsp. olive oil
2 lemons
2 cloves garlic, crashed
1 tbsp. fresh rosemary
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 stalks  of fresh thyme

Cut straight down the back of the chicken, open it out flat. Blend 1/2  lemon,  lemon juice, olive oil,garlic cloves, salt& pepper and fresh rosemary.
Spread this mixture all over the chicken. Place the chicken in a roasting pan . Put  halved 1/2 of lemon and  fresh thyme on top of the chicken. Bake to 200C-400F , for  1 1/4-1 1/2 hour until well browned and tender. Serve with plane rice pilaf and green salad.
