Orange Garlic Herb Roast Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 kg potatoes, cut into chunks
- 8 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½ cup oil
- ¼ cup honey
- Juice and zest of 2 large oranges
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan).
- Mix the oil, honey, orange juice, orange zest, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and mixed herbs in a bowl.
- Place the whole chicken in a large roasting pan and coat generously with the orange garlic herb mixture.
- Toss the potatoes in the remaining mixture and arrange them around the chicken.
- Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes–2 hours, turning the potatoes halfway through and basting the chicken occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Cover the chicken loosely with foil if it browns too quickly. Check that the thickest part of the chicken reaches 75°C.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 10–15 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve the chicken with the garlic herb potatoes.
