Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken
- 2 Lemons (halved)
- 1 Head of Garlic (broken into cloves - leaving the skins on)
- Bunch of fresh Rosemary
- Handful of fresh Sage leaves
- 3 Banana Shallots (chopped in half lengthways)
- Garlic Oil
- 1 Tbsp Redcurrant Jelly
- 1 Tbsp Golden Syrup
- 1 Tsp Sweet Chilli Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Bolied Water
Marinading Method:
- Put the chicken into a large resealable freezer bag
- In a bowl, mix together the garlic oil and juice of one lemon.
- In the cavity of the chicken, add half of the cloves of garlic (skins on), the sage, bunch of rosemary, 1 1/2 shallots and half a lemon cut up into wedges
- Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken
- Then in the bag, put in the remaining garlic cloves, lemon wedges and shallots
- Leave to marinade or put in the freezer until ready to use
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
- Put the chicken into a roasting tin (breast side down) and cover with foil
- Roast the chicken for half the cooking time (depending on the size of the chicken) covered in foil
- After the time has elapsed, remove the foil, turn the chicken and continue to cook for the remaining time - minus about 15 minutes
- Turn the oven up to 225 degrees and remove the chicken from the oven
- Mix the glaze up in a small bowl and brush over the chicken
- Put the chicken back in the oven uncovered for around 10-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked so all the juices run clear
- Serve with all your favorite trimmings :)
