Simple Whole Roasted Chicken with Dijon-Roasted Purple Cabbage!

2 years ago I posted Super-moist Perfect Roast Chicken Recipe, a remake of Jamie Oliver’s perfect roast chicken.  I thought that’s the most perfect recipe ever!  But guess what there’s another trick to make succulent, moist, flavorful roast chicken WITH CRISPY SKIN!  & did I mention it’s very easy and you only need the most basic ingredients?

I paired the chicken with dijon-roasted purple cabbage.  Such a delicious recipe!  Baby G ate a lot too!  =)  The organic purple cabbage is from my dad’s garden too!  =)

Simple Whole Roasted Chicken with Dijon-Roasted Purple Cabbage

Ingredients:

A whole chicken
Seasoning: whatever you love!  I used Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, sea salt, pepper
Stuffing: again whatever you love! I used 10 cloves of garlic (some whole cloves & some chopped), 1/2 chopped onions,

1. Wash and pat dry the chicken.  Keep it dry so the skin can be crispier!

2. Massage and rub seasoning all over the chicken, including the cavity and underneath the skin if you can get to it.

3. Put stuffing inside the cavity and let the bird marinate over night.

4. Preheat oven to 400 F.

5. Put the chicken in a Dutch Oven with the lid on and bake for 60 minutes.  If you don’t have a Dutch Oven, put it in a roasting pan and cover with tin foil.  This would seal in the moisture and give you lots of yummilicious juice!

6. Remove the lid / tin foil and bake for 30 minutes more, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.  Now the skin will get crispy!

ENJOY!  =D
