What you'll need
- 1.6kg Whole Chicken
- 500g Potatoes, washed, peeled & cut into large chunks
- 3 Carrots, washed and cut into large chunks
- 2 Sweet Potatoes, washed and cut into large chunks
- 1 Large Onion, peeled and quartered
- 30g Butter, room temperature
- 50ml Water
- 50ml Olive Oil
- 2 Scoops of a Hacker Seasoning plus another 1/2 a teaspoon
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C / 350 F
2. In a bowl add the 1/2 tsp of your Hacker Seasoning to the butter and mix well with a fork.
3. Place your fingers under the skin of the Chicken and gently loosen it from the meat. So you are creating a pocket to place the butter between the skin and the meat.
4. With your hands, slide the Hacker Butter between the skin and the meat of your chicken and rub all over the inside.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the Water, Olive Oil and 2 scoops of your Hacker Seasoning.
5. In a roasting tin, spread your Carrots and Sweet Potatoes out on the base.
6. Place your Chicken on top of the veg.
7. Cook in the oven for 1.5 hours
8. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then serve
