Ingredients

1 Chicken

2 Apples

Directions

IMG_0835FOR THE ROASTED VEG

Simply randomly chop the above ingredients, place in a large roasting tray, drizzle in rapeseed oil,  season with salt and pepper and some fresh garden herbs. Tune into what you have available and what you think will be a good marriage!  In this recipe we used fresh thyme and the odd looking root vegetable is scorzonera. Roast the vegetables for around 1 hour,  plan this to time perfectly with your roasting chicken !

FOR THE CHICKEN

In a small oven tray (so the chicken is snug!), open your can and take a little gulp, to test  and pour a third of it in the tray then place the apples in. Place the wrapped can inside the chicken's " jacksey !" Make sure the top of the can is uncovered allowing the steamy beer to penetrate the bird from within.  Oil the bird and season with salt and pepper,  Roast the chicken stood upright (see the picture) to butcher's instructions.

Serve with more beer or cider.

Tip: also excellent done on the BBQ for a truly moist and flavoursome bird to share with friends and family!
