Take out wish bone, innards, tail, neck and throughly wash outside and inside with rock salt.



Pay it dry and throughly season it with salt and pepper. Stuff the inside with half of lemon. Take cooking twine and truss it up for even cooking. For fragrance and color, I spread paprika and dried rosemary on it.



I bake the chicken in oven till the inner temp reaches 74c in the deepest part.



You can refer to my previous thread about how to make gravy. Carve the chicken up and serve it on plate with mashed potato. V-Cut fries is from Mekdi my family bought.

There’s gonna be 34.99, sir.

thanks

Depending on size, I think its safer to use thermometer

1. No marinade. Just rub salt and onion power throughly for the flavor. After trussing, I sprinkled black pepper, paprika powder and dried rosemary on the skin.

2. I learnt the lemon method through googling, yes.

3. I didn’t use foil. I don’t like moist chicken skin. When oven get too dirty just wipe it. No big deal.

4. You can buy cheap meat thermometer from Shopee. Just poke it inside the deepest part of breast, away from bone. I think 73-74c is the sweet spot for juicy breast.

5. Technically it’s not even cooking, as usually when the breast reaches 74c, the thigh temperature would be higher, around 85-68c. But there’s not big deal, the red meat parts are able to withstand higher temperature without drying.

6. Experiment with different orientation. I put my chicken sideway because the temperature on the right side of my oven tend to be higher. I think different oven, different pattern.

You could make a lot of things with oven. Just mind about the electricity haha.
