Ingredients:
1 Decent Sized Chicken (around 2kgs)
1-2 Lemons chopped into chunks
3 Cloves Garlic chopped into chunks
Salt and Freshly Cracked Pepper
Tooth Picks
Olive Oil
Directions:
Ask your husband or significant other to fire up the barbie, unless you are exceptionally talented (which I’m not!), and can do it yourself!
Now there seems to be a little controversy these days as to whether or not you need to wash your chicken, but for me it’s a must to make sure the cavity has been cleaned out properly. You know, the yucky bit, the number one reason I don’t usually roast a chicken. So wash, or don’t wash, it’s up to you.
Stuff the lemons and garlic chunks into the cavity of your chook and use the toothpicks to seal the opening.
Massage some olive oil into the skin of the chicken, sprinkle on some salt and freshly cracked pepper and place onto your BBQ with the lid on until cooked through.
Cooking times will vary according to the size of your bird, but the recommended time is 1 hour per 1kg of weight. So, my 2kg bird took pretty close to 2 hours to cook perfectly.
Serve with roast vegetables or a salad.
And if you are feeling especially clever, while the chicken is cooking you can make a special dessert like I did,Chocolate Mousse Cake with ice-cream.
