Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (about 1.5-2 kg / 3.5-4.5 lbs)
3 tablespoons Truffle and Spice seasoning (Great Southern Truffles)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, quartered
Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, making sure to remove excess moisture for a crispier skin. Rub the inside cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the quartered lemon and fresh herbs (if using).
For an extra luxurious touch, add sliced pieces of truffle inside the cavity or under the skin, infusing the chicken with even more truffle flavor.
Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix the Truffle and Spice seasoning, olive oil, and minced garlic. Rub this mixture generously over the entire chicken, making sure to coat it well. If you want extra flavor, place small pieces of butter under the skin of the chicken breast.
Truss and roast: Truss the chicken legs together using kitchen twine for even cooking. Place the chicken on a roasting rack in a large baking dish, breast side up. Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the skin is golden brown and crispy. Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through roasting.
Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
Optional garnish: Serve with roasted vegetables or potatoes and drizzle with any extra pan juices for added flavor.
This Roasted Chicken with Truffle and Spice is packed with aromatic flavors and has a touch of truffle richness, making it a standout dish for family dinners or special occasions.
