Roast whole chicken
Two whole chickens each weighing 1.2 kilograms were marinated for two days before roasting. I rubbed their skins and cavities with spices, poured a few tablespoonfuls of marinade into the cavities before placing them in plastic bags and then sealing the bags tightly. I kept them in the coldest part of the fridge for two days and two nights, turning the bags every six hours to make sure that the marinade would finds its way into every part of the chickens.
When I was ready to roast them, I stuffed the cavity of each chicken with plenty of leeks and half a lemon. I wrapped them in aluminum foil and roasted them for two hours in a 325oF oven. Then, I removed the foil and roasted them uncovered for another twenty minutes.

sorry, i don’t know the settings for a turbo broiler. i use a convection oven these days.
Hi! i never tried roasting yet with aluminum foil, doesn’t the chicken skin come off with the foil? which heating element should i use the upper or the lower heater? with the fan on? ang daming tanong eh.. just curious, cause i want to try this on my daughter’s 4th birthday.
(i always use the rotisserie spit that comes with my oven, but it’s just a small oven, a little bigger than an oven toaster it can only accomodate a whole chicken about a kilogram.)
hi connie!
just want to ask if i can use the rotisserie for this recipe? will there a be a great difference?
thanks,
jane
naku, phynkee, i just saw your comment. talk about late response hehehe the skin didn’t come off, did it? the fat in the skin is responsible for that.
jane, you can. and it’ll be even better because your chicken will brown evenly.
