Preparing You Chicken
Ingredients
1 whole chicken (2 kilos)
Olive oil
Seasoning
New potatoes
1 red onion
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time : Over 2 hours
Serves: 4
Level : Easy
Method
Score your chicken with a sharp knife, so that the flavours will suck in it better.Transfer your chicken in baking dish, it need to be big enough , so later on you can put the potatoes in with the chicken. Like this they will soak up the peri peri flavour Cover the chicken with olive oil and season well. Cover loosely with some foil , and put in a preheated oven 190 degrees for an hour.
After an hour, take the chicken out of the oven, remove the foil. I didn't throw mine away , I will use it again later to cover the chicken when it's resting. Get the peri peri sauce and pour over the chicken, and help it a bit with a brush so that you get all the parts of the chicken. Do not use all the sauce save a little for later , for making the gravy . You don't need a lot . Tip the potatoes and the red onion in , (quartered) with the chicken. Leave to cook uncovered this time. For another hour 15 minutes.
Leave to rest on a chopping board , covered with some foil for 15 minutes before carving.
