Whole Roasted Chicken with Lemon & Pepper, a simple yet delicious whole roasted chicken which can be enjoyed with Mayonnaise or Mint-Coriander Chutney. This is first time i tried to roast a whole chicken which was pending in my to do list for a long while. I bookmarked this recipe from Priya‘s Space. The moment i saw this recipe on her blog, i wanted to try it badly.
The whole preparation is simple, but takes time for marination. You can either marinate it for 3 hrs or can do it overnight. Remember to wash your hands properly while handling the chicken in order to prevent bacterial infection. I brushed the chicken with little olive oil before baking. This is optional. You can also add little garam masala or tandoori masala powder for additional flavors.
