Ingredients
A slightly odd, but really fantastic combination, which must be tried
1 x 1.5 kg chicken or bigger depending on your appetite Salt or Pink salt flakes
Freshly ground black pepper 100 gr of butter Sage
Rosemary
Thyme Zest of 2 lemons
Zest of 1 orange 5 garlic cloves, skin left on 500 ml of milk
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, find a am oven proof pot that will accommodate the chicken nice and snug.
Season the chicken generously all over with salt and pepper, and fry it in the butter, turning the chicken to get an even color all over, until golden.
Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a plate, throw away the butter left in the pot.
This will leave you with lots and lots of flavour of flavour at the bottom of the pan, put your chicken back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients, and cook in the preheated oven for about an hour and half.
Baste with the cooking jus every 15 minutes or so, the lemon zest split the milk, do not worry this will give you an amazing tasty sauce
Once the chicken is ready, let rest for about 15 minutes and then cut as you like
Spoon over plenty of jus and the little curds that have formed.
I like serving this chicken with polenta and broccolini in the winter months and mashed potato in the summer
