​
Method:
-
The night before (I recommend , when possible , to marinate the chicken 12- 24 hours in advance) Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and mix well.
-
Place the chicken in bowl, massage the marinade in and out.Making sure to place some of the marinade under the breast skin.
-
Store in the fridge overnight and uncovered .This will help to dry out the skin and will give you a nice crispy skin after baked !
-
Preheat oven to 350F.
-
Take the chicken out of the fridge about 30 minutes before roasting , place in roasting plan , breast side up .
-
Place the chicken in the middle rack of the oven , for approx 1:30 hours , until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165F , the juices should run clear , not pink .
-
Let the chicken rest , before serving , covered loosely with aluminum , for about 15 to 20 minutes.
