Whole roast chicken
As a young girl, I had a summer job in a diner at the beach in Denmark. One of the items most sold on a hot day was half a chicken cooked in oil. It has taken years for me to enjoy a roasted chicken again. This recipe is an old one and works very well.

Good to know
I have started using the roasting bag because the chicken fat is always causing a mess in my oven. I find this get quite dry easily so 1 hour is enough at 200 degrees. If can add other spices as per your liking- thyme or terragon- try that..
