Roast chicken ideas: Get the seasoning right
It’s all well and good having a top-quality piece of meat, but your roast will be nothing without a little seasoning. If you miss this important step when cooking your chicken, your meat could end up dry and tasteless.
Seasoning
This all comes down to personal taste. If you’re serving your chicken with some simple vegetables and potatoes, you may only want a sprinkle of salt and pepper. If you want to try something a little spicier, you could try a little paprika, cinnamon and chili. Alternatively, rosemary or thyme will give your chicken a more traditional, herby flavour. To season your chicken, simply rub your herbs and spices thoroughly into the skin.
Marinade
A marinade is a sauce that you massage into the skin of your chicken, such as a spicy barbecue marinade or a classic honey and lemon. Not only does marinating keep your chicken nice and juicy, but it adds an incredible depth of flavour to your meat.
Marinating your meat a few hours before you cook it will prevent it from drying out in the oven, making your chicken crispy and super tasty. For extra juice and flavour, try pouring a spoonful of your marinade over the meat while it’s roasting.
