Lilydale Free Range Whole Chicken

There are multiple ways to prepare and cook a whole chicken - such as roasting, butterfly and grilling or carved into portions. 1. Oven Roasting: Preheat fan forced oven to 180°C. Season the chicken with your favourite herbs and spices, place it on lined roasting tray and cover with lightly oiled foil, and roast for about 25-30minutes per 500g or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Basting is a great way to develop flavours and keep your chicken juicy. Remove foil for the last 15 minutes for a crispy, golden skin. 2. Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Butterfly, season and/or baste the chicken for a succulent result. Grill over indirect heat for 1-1.5 hours, dependent on size, turning occasionally. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C and juices run clear. 3. Slow Cooking: Place the seasoned chicken in a slow cooker with your choice of sauce, broth or water. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C and juices run clear. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
