Enjoy the video recipe!
You will need (for 4 people):
- 1 whole chicken (mine was about 1.6kg / 56.4oz)
- 10 potatoes
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 2 onions
- 3 carrots
- 1 lemon
- a handful of tomatoes
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Fresh herbs (sage, rosemary, mint, basil, thyme)
- Salt and Pepper
- Create a emulsion with the oil and the fresh herbs finely cut. Let it rest while you chop the vegetables;
- Pour some oil into a flat oven tray and put all the chopped vegetables in the tray;
- Put the chicken in the middle of the pan (on top of the veggies) breast down and start massaging the chicken with the emulsion;
- Season with oil, salt and pepper. Make some holes in the lemon using a fork and insert the lemon in the chicken’s cavity;
- Now insert the tray in the oven and let it cook for about 2/2.5 hours, making sure that every 30 minutes or so you brush the chicken skin with the liquid which will be produced.
- 1 hour into the cooking, turn the chicken the other way.
And that’s how it’s done in Italia!
Italian Food Boss special tip: Potatoes need to be the majority of your vegetables, to ensure the whole dish doesn’t come out too sweet.
