I dont know what to have for dinner last nite. It was cold outside (it is winter) and eating out is the last resort. So open up the fridge and found myself a whole bird of fresh chicken.
Fried or roast? that was the question lingering in my head for a few minutes – then i decided to roast. Found the Naked Chef recipes on the net and luckily all the ingredients is very much in stock.
So I did.
Perfect Roast Chicken – as claimed by Jamie Oliver the Naked Chef.
Its quite a long 12 minutes video – i am a very slow cook 🙂 Sorry if it’s bored you to death.[spoiler intro=”Recipe” title=”Click Here for Recipe”]
The Ingredients
• 1 x approximately 1.6kgchicken, preferably free-range, organic or higher welfare
• 2 medium onions
• 2 carrots
• 2 sticks of celery
• 1 bulb of garlic
• olive oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lemon
a small bunch of fresh thyme, rosemary, bay or sage, or a mixture
To prepare your chicken
• Take your chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before it goes into the oven
• Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F/gas 9
• There’s no need to peel the vegetables – just give them a wash and roughly chop them
• Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled
• Pile all the veg and garlic into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil
• Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the bird
• Carefully prick the lemon all over, using the tip of a sharp knife (if you have a microwave, you could pop the lemon in these for 40 seconds at this point as this will really bring out the flavour)
• Put the lemon inside the chicken’s cavity, with the bunch of herbs
To cook your chicken
• Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting tray and put it into the preheated oven
• Turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook the chicken for 1 hour and 20 minutes
• If you’re doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them – get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking
• Baste the chicken halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them burning
• When cooked, take the tray out of the oven and transfer thechicken to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so
• Cover it with a layer of tinfoil and a tea towel and put aside. Now is the time to make your gravy

So..the verdict.
I would say its quite good…not as good as i expected it to be..for my taste…but for you.. Entahlah..I dont Know.. but it’s worth trying.

brilliant… the bird looks tasty..
i plan to have grilled chicken with potatoes bun and mushroom soup for dinner tonite.. yummy…
just watch the video..got few comments here
firstly..hey you’re wearing your watch on your rigt hand..same as me..you’re not left handed aren’t you..
secondly, ciss jeles i tgk the rosemary.. terus feeling2 jamie oliver errkk.. using fresh rosemary straight from the pot…
thirdly, nak tergelak tgk the chicken..teringat cerita mr.bean with the christmas turkey.. you tak make the chicken exercise ye.. hahahaha..
fourthly.. tgk your kitchen mitt terus teringat the scar on my hand.. perasan kebal..tak pakai kitchen mitt..terburnt tangan sendiri and now i have a long scar.. sib baik dah kawin..kalau tak kurang seribu..hahaha..
Yes..i do wear watch on my right hand…but im not leftie 🙂
Fresh rosemary boleh beli n tanam dalam pasu even kat malaysia pun kan?
Hahaha…suddenly i feel like mr.bean – no i didnt make chicken exercise.
Wahhh….nasib baik yer…kalau tak mungkin lebih dari seribu kurang tu.
not many right handed people wear watch on their right hand..wonder what makes you to wear on your right hand..adakah you pun macam me and my sister, terpengaruh ngan this one canto movie..cerita askar yg hero dia handsome at the end mati..he wore his watch on his right hand.. but couldn’t be because you’re a guy…hahahha
rosemary susah nak dapat..pernah beli but mati.. i’m so not a green thumb person.. kalau plant survive tu kira miracle lah.. :p
Oh..why i wear it on right hand?
A simple answer…during school..everybody wears watch on left hand..and i just dont want to be same like others..so i wear it on right. It kinda difficult at first..since watch was design to be wore on left hand..and to change the dials using left hand is cumbersome at first. 30 years later…its still on my right hand 🙂
Ohh…kalau macam tu tak payah tanam lah..beli jer.
Yeah..look tasty. I really love the crispy skin 🙂
assalamualaikum,
apa kabar? Harap2 sihat selalu.
the roast chicken really look very tempting and the taste must be scrumptious ^_^
Waalaikumsalam dan khabar baik.
Yeah look very tempting..and taste is quite good too 🙂
walaweh..pagi2 sudah dihidangkan dengan roast chicken..nasib baik dah breakfast..geram pulak tengok peha ayam tuh..nyum nyum..saya pernah buat tapi tak secantik mcm KA buat…huuhhhu..tq for the recipe
Aah kan..bila i published entri ni pukul 12 malam kat sini..means 7 pagi kat malaysia…patut ler..breakfast time.
I pulak tak geram kat peha..tapi kat wings 🙂 Cantik ke chicken i ni? mungkin sebab ada fresh rosemary tu kot.
yummeehhh… drooling here…
Hahahaha..keep drooling 🙂
makan dgn roti atau sedap dimakan begitu saja..
last nite i ate KFC hot and spicy..tak sangka sedap rupanya sebab all this while i cuma makan original recipe.. today? i’m craving for Mekdi chicken pulak or maybe Chiken Rice Shop, chiken rice.. or maybe nandos.. uuuhhh dont knowlahhh.. to many choices make me dizzy (greedy perhaps??).. ha ha ha…
roasted ayam tu comel..kaler comel..kalau i, i suka yang hangit2 tu…
yer Net, sedap diratah begitu saja atau dimakan dengan roti dan juga nasi. I dah lama gila tak mkn hot and spicy..sebab sekali jer mkn pastu mcm tak best..lepas tu tak pernah mkn langsung. I sangat suka chicken rice shop..dunno why.
Not dizzy tu..greedy 🙂
I pun suka yg garing2 n hangit2 tu.
duduk kat malaysia yang byk makanan halal mcm tu lah…greedy…:) semua nakkkkk….
ok kita boleh geng sebab suka nasi ayam chicken rice shop… sedap kata chef Michael (ni iklan masterchef kat malaysia)
Tulah pasal….banyak sangat pilihan kan. Nanti boleh ler u belanja i kat chicken rice shop yer 🙂
boleh!!! tapi i segan..mcmana tu?
Kita gi makan ramai2 lah..ajak LW, irfa, kak sherry..sape lagi eh..eliza, blu4sky…sape lagi yg ada area kl?
hahhh? ada orang nak belanja makan ke? ok i follow! yay!!:)
Hahaha…lets go.
eh LW, u mestilah ikut kan..
baru dapat tengok video clip tu…
mesti sejuk kan kamera u tu masa u masukkan dalam fridge tu…
LW pasti kena ada..kalau tak..cancel!
Haha..memang kamera tu tgh kena dera sekarang..sentiasa kena sejuk..sehari dua ni asyik kena snow pulak 🙂
ehh tak rosak ke kamera tu kena snow? I kalu kena hujan sket pun suspen..ye lah barang mahal kan, duit pulak tak berapa ramai kalu nak beli baru:)
Yeahh..rosemary is the best herb to marinate chicken. But sometimes i prefer coriander and basil too..to make more perfect..spread lime juice plus potato bake in foil..yummylicious aite!
Anyway..the chicken was really lucky thot..i sware im not that kinda proper like you when comes to deal with chicken and beef…haha!
LW..very much agree.
Indeed it was lucky for her…being handle by a gentle hand 🙂
amboiii muehehehe o yeahh, really gentle..
basically i cannot stand like that.
what i did was placed the chicken in a big container and put some herbs all one shot then shaken it for a while..
as easy as ABC, switch on the oven…
Ini kerja orang tak berapa rajin..dont follow me eh!
Haha..i pun plan nak buat macam you sebenarnya…tapi sebab ikut resepi..dan nak buat video kan..so kena gentle lah. Hihihi
ok ok, better proper way..i pun kalau nak serve kat guest kena buat cecanti so that orang yang makan pun berselera je nak telan..kan:)tapi kalau sendiri punya, nak cepat..hambek ko…hihi
Hehehe….memang gitu pun. Sendiri punya cincai jer kan.
i rasa nak tergelak masa u keringkan chicken tu guna tisu … mcm baby lepas mandi, pastu lap2 dgn tuala kasi kering…
hahaha..jangan kata u..i bila playback vids tu pun rasa funny…the instruction is to “pat dry the chicken using kitchen towel”. Indeed i did..and it looks funny.
Nampak sangat sedap!
Nampaknya begitulah Su.
huhu
telan air liur,sib baik tak meleleh kat keyboard
Irfa..jangan sampai macam tu…nanti rosak komputer opis tu…hehehe 🙂
Assalamualaikum KA,
Wallaweihhhh.. you deserved a standing ovation dear.
Tak terjangkau dek akal-ku.
You made it looks so easy.
& I shall take it as a challenge.
Insya’Allah, lepas ni tak perlu la lagi Kak Sham beratur depan kiosk Naif Chicken kalau nak makan ayam golek.
p/s;
Every 12minutes worth watching..
& KA pakai jam tgn kanan ya. Did you know that its actually “sunnah Nabi” bagi memakai sebarang bentuk perhiasan di sebelah “kanan” tangan bagi orang lelaki..
Waalaikumsalam Kak Sham,
Ishh..janagn gitu kak..segan saya. Takde apa pun..cuma roast chicken jer pun.
Tapi kan kak..saya rasa ayam golek kat kedai tu lagi best lah…hahaha 🙂
p/s:
Thank you.
Yer kak…sebelah kanan..and yes..most of my accesories (if i have one) i wore em on right hand. Sunnah yer? tak tau saya…Alhamdulillah lah kalau macam tu 🙂
assalam hi khairul 🙂
saya tahu, komen saya ni out of topic, tapi nak minta tlg juga utk segmen ni 🙂 bolehkan?
http://puangojes.blogspot.com/2012/12/bantuan-di-perlukan-klik-g1-dan-undi.html
terima kasih ya khairul 🙂
Puan Gojes,
Komen begini “yg mempunyai link” biasanya akan masuk ke spam box saya..dan akan auto delete dalam masa 1 jam. Luckily saya tengok dan approvedkan. So..good luck to you in winning the contest.
Assalamualaikum KA
Just had my dinner tapi masih terliur tengok wing yang garing tu, yummyyy..the next time terjumpa ayam dalam fridge memang tak lepaskan pasti nak cuba, tengok video mcm senang gitu 🙂 and thanks for the recipe.
p/s am wearing watch on my right hand too since 20 yrs ago 🙂
Waalaikumsalam Fina,
Ahh..selamat mencuba yer. Kalau sedap ke..tak sedap ker boleh komplen kat Jamie si Naked Chef tu yer..ini resepi dia 🙂
p/s: Really…then boleh jadi geng and you deserved a high five!
Khairul,
Ayam panggang sempurna tu sgt jelita tauu mcm di photoshop atau air brush jer. kalah saya..tak aci betul. haha!
Entah kenapa yer, setiapkali tgk video masakan, saya lebih tertarik tgk kebersihan dapur dan kitchen appliances yg digunakan. Bersih mcm baru beli.
ps: Saya tak tinggal di kl tapi lk (luar kawasan). Kalo gi makan2 tu nnt tapau ler utk saya ok 🙂
Eliza,
Kalau di”photoshop” atau di”airbrush”kan ayam tu..pasti lebih cantik jelita kot. 🙂
Bagi saya dapur is my heaven – so mesti kena kemas, bersih dan cantik…baru best memasak. Dan..paling penting..kualiti makanan terjamin kan? takde ler nanti cirit-birit akibat makan masakan sendiri.
ps: Err..nak tapau yer? u nak makan apa?
Saya pernah buat sekali dulu, hasilnya mmg sedap (kenalah puji diri sendiri, kannn…) tapi..it turned out burning a bit, maybe tak control temp. oven dgn betul.
ps: saya nak makan apa saja yg boleh dimakan asalkan halal dan sedap. Boleh?
Betul tu..sentiasalah puji diri sendiri kan. Aah..kalau burnt tu maknanya temperature tak betul lah.
ps: Boleh jerrrr…tapi apa yg ada kat sini yer. German’s speciality food mostly pork base..harammm. Oh ya..ada satu, my fav..its called Flammkuchen. Nanti i tapau yer 🙂
dh stop try makanan omputih ni… tekak cari sambal petai jugak. love their dessert sebab teknik fotografi kot.. gambar nampak tempting.
mungkin sebab kuih melayu kita dh familiar.. tangkap gambar cemana pun tak rasa temptng sangat. emm…
Yelah Kaktek….mana2 pegi pun tetap nak nasik jugak. As for me..nasi only on weekend…so weekdays…hentam apa saja selain nasi.
Betul tu..teknik fotografi dan juga food styling buat desserts dan juga foods nampak so tempting.
Delish! Bak kata Jamie Oliver. My feveret all time celebrity chef kalau tengok AFC..
Tapi part tak buang kulit bawang tu I rasa OFF sikit. Jamie tu suke sempoi2…lepas tu tray tu dia letak flour nak buat gravy…lepas tu baru la dia tapis semua kulit2 dalam tu..Hahaha.. tapi memang nampak sedap je.
Sempoi tu yang membuatkan dia terkenal :). Yeah.it looks delicious.
Tersedak I ada orang sebut nama I tau….akak dah ketinggalan banyak cerita rupa nya…sorry lah, atok sedara meninggal di Jb, so akak balik Jb 5 hari tak sempat nak bukak blog langsung.
Akak lebih suka nasi ayam chee meng yang di Bukit Bintang tu sedap dan tak mahal sangat, chicken rice shop sekarang ayam nya ciput je dan harga boleh tahan mahal nya.
Kalau balik Malaysia…kita jumpa ramai2 mesti best kan…a
Hehe..sorry yer kak..Kalau selalu disebut tu tandanya glamer 🙂
Ohh..nasi ayam kat bukit bintang tu pun sangat sodapp.
Kita jumpa ramai2 kat rumah Kak Sherry yer?
Dah tengok video you masak….macam pro je… Ayam tu nampak sedap…..tak pasal2 kita pun nak kedapur buat projek masak2….beruntung lah wife dapat suami yang ringan tangan di dapur….jeles akak tau.
Macam pro yer? hahaha..agak2 boleh tak masuk Masterchef? 🙂
KA,
Jumpa kat rumah akak…boleh lah no problem…akak tak pernah menolak kalau orang sudi nak kerumah akak…wadehek kan.
Akak tak berani nak masuk Masterchef…memasak pun masih biasa biasa aje….
