Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and get ready for a summery feast. Start by patting the chicken dry.

3.Coat the chicken inside and out with this flavourful blend and place it in your roasting pan. For a fun twist, you can toss in some baby potatoes for a delicious side dish.

4. Cover the pan with foil and let the chicken roast for 45 minutes. Then, uncover it and roast for an additional 15 minutes until the chicken turns beautifully golden and crispy.

5. This dish is a perfect fit for your summer gatherings and festive celebrations. The blend of summer herbs and citrus will make your taste buds dance with joy. Enjoy the flavours of the season!
