Instructions
For perfectly cooked chicken, our head chef recommends roasting:
Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan oven, Gas mk 6). Rub with a little oil and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Place on a cooling wire on a roasting tray and place in oven for 50-55 minutes or until there is no pink meat and the juices run clear. Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Alternatively, if you're short of time:
Remove legs from carcass, rub legs and crown with oil. Place in oven for 35-40 minutes until there is no pink meat and the juices run clear.
Wash hands, knives and surfaces thoroughly before and after preparing raw chicken.
