supermarket extra tasty roast chicken

My OH chops up a lemon and stuffs that into holes he makes around the breast etc. Then he smothers in honey before cooking and it's to die for!

Hi,

One of my first real tips here, an avid reader but i dont really post much!

For a really tasty chicken, take a baked bean can or similar, wash the inside and out really well and fill with water or stock, a bay leaf and a clove of garlic and sit this in the middle of a roasting tin.

Wash and prepare your chicken as you usually would. Open up the bottom area of the chicken (you may need to do a little snipping of the skin) and slide down the tin can so you have a chicken standing up in your roasting tin.

Take a small jar of mayo, put this into a bowl and add in some mixed herbs, a teaspoon of paprika, 2 crushed garlic cloves (more if you like garlic) and a dash of salt and cracked black pepper.

Rub this mayo mixture all over the bird, make sure its coverd well with the mayo and has got into every little bit.

Take some tinfoil and wrap the baking tray up like a tent so there is plenty of air to get around the chicken when in the oven.

Move the oven sheleves down so you can put the chicken in the oven and bake on about 180 for the correct legnth of time. Half hour before removing from oven, remove the foil so the skin can crisp up.

Take the chicken out and leave to stand for a while before carving. You can either carve the chicken whilst its standing on the tin or use 2 forks to pull the chicken from the tin, this takes some practice and you might need another pair of hands.

You can use the water or stock in the tin to make gravy with too.

My oh wont eat roast chicken any other way now. This was given to me by a russian woman who stayed in my mums bed and breakfast. Not like asda chicken, but much nicer and the chicken doesnt end up sitting in lots of grease which i find they ooze just now!

brush the chicken with oil then mix a crushed chicken oxo cube and a teaspoon of season all (schwartz? herb and spice jars) and spread over the oiled chicken. This is what one of the shops near me use.

I've used the Chicken Bovril in the past with lurvly results - do they still make it?

I think a lot of the supermarket coating is actually some kind of sugar (I did look at the ingredients once!). Maybe your OH would like some sort of bbq sauce marinade as that tends to be a little bit sweet.
