Olive Oil

5 teaspoons

Garlic

8 pieces

Directions

Fine chop rosemary and parsley. Wash and cut the carrot, onion and celery into thick slices, baby potato into halves (skin on). Make a paste of 5 cloves of garlic. Set aside

Mix the garlic paste, herbs, olive oil, cumin powder, chili powder, lemon, 1 teaspoon black pepper (crushed), and salt to form a marinade. Set aside

Take a whole chicken with skin and place in a pot. Add salt and top off with water, enough to submerge the chicken. Leave this for an hour

Wash the chicken and drain any excess water that collects in the cavity. Cut along the backbone of the chicken. This will enable the chicken to open up without splitting into two

Mix the roughly cut celery, carrot, onion, 1 teaspoon whole peppercorn, bay leaf, potato and garlic in a bowl. Season with a little salt and pepper

Place the chicken in a baking dish (it will release juices so a deeper dish is needed to prevent the juices from flowing). Using the tip of your fingers, lightly, without tearing the skin, separate the skin from the breast (enough to push in some marinade). Spread some marinade between the skin and breast. Then spread the marinade all over the chicken by massaging it into the skin.

Make sure the marinade is on the skin as well as the part of the chicken that is facing down. Place the marinated roughly cut veggies under the chicken. Once the chicken is prepped, bake in a preheated oven, uncovered, at 180 degrees C for 40 min. Using a spoon, pour the natural juices onto the chicken. This process is called basting. Do this in the last 10 min of roasting

Once done, remove from the oven, and let it rest for 30min. Cut and serve

Once the chicken has been removed from the oven, keep it aside. Take out the juices and roasted veg in a pan and reduce on a medium flame. Add whole wheat flour and saute again. Once the wheat flour cooks, add apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan. This is done to collect the caramelization at the bottom of the pan. Add 2 1/2 cups chicken stock and reduce to a thick consistency. Strain and squeeze out all juices

Finish it with chopped parsley
