Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
3 tsp salt
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp five-spice powder
2 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp sugar
3 cloves garlic (crushed and mashed with roughly a tsp of coarse salt)
1 lemon (zest & juice)
4-5 onions (skin peeled)
Olive oil
6 potatoes (cut cube)
Asparagus (skin peeled)
Butter
1 tbsp maltose (diluted with 1 tbsp of hot water)
Wash chicken thoroughly and drain in a colander for approx. 10 mins.
Tips: For marinating, divide ingredients into half for front & back chicken. Work with your hand and massage the ingredients onto chicken for better result.
Blanch asparagus in salt water. Drain in colander for approx. 5 mins. When the chicken is done with its 80 mins baking, add the asparagus to the tray and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Grease the surface of asparagus with butter. And grease the surface of chicken with diluted maltose. Baked for another 10mins under 180°C.
Tips: Maltose will give the skin a very crispy texture.
Tea Chats: This is the first time we've baked this chicken and it was yummy~licious. We've given it a name: Garden Chicken because it looks like a garden to us. :). Since this is baking and not grilling, there are sauce in the tray. So, don't bother making any sauce for this. :)
Happy Friday, peeps! Enjoy your weekend! :)
