Ed's best roast chicken

Nov 17 09:42am

Note: Smoked paprika is sold in packets at specialty food stores, but "standard" sweet paprika tastes just as good!


Preheat oven to 210C. Place a size 13 chicken onto a wire cooling rack in a roasting pan. Cut a lemon into quartered and a head of garlic in half place into the cavity of the chicken with a bunch of oregano. Push two large knobs of butter up under the skin from the neck end

Mix 2 teaspoons of smoked sweet paprika with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and rub all over the skin of the chicken. Season with sea salt and pepper. Truss the chicken with string or a skewer. Roast for 45 minutes or until juices run clear when tested with a skewer. Serve immediately.
