- 1 whole Chicken
- 2 cloves Garlic finely grated or minced
- 2 tsp Paprika
- ¾ tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 2 zested Lemons
- 60 g Butter
- 1½ tsp Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Put the butter, lemon zest, oregano, paprika, chilli powder and garlic in a bowl and mix well ensuring that the butter is soft enough to massage into the chicken
Massage the butter mix all over the chicken and under the skin where possible. Prick the chicken skip in a few places with a sharp knife.
Spit roast the chicken until cooked (about 1¼ hours), or roast it in a baking tray, basting it once or twice during cooking.
If roasting, check that the skin is crispy towards the end of the cooking time and increase the temperature if necessary.
Serve with either fries or salad depending on your taste!
