Notes About The Ingredients to use for the Roasted Whole Chicken.

1 The chicken; It's always available to use rooster or cockerel which is the male chicken roasting or grilling your chicken, it's because of the softness and the time it takes when cooking it is lesser than hen, that is the female chicken.



2. The Seasonings you are going to use for the body of the chicken, It's advisable to use grounded calabash, is to give the chicken a sort of barbecue flavour. Any other used seasoning you put is alow.



3. Stuffing; If preparing this recipe for the first time, you can go for any kind of vegetables and seasoning. But I will advise you to choose the best and most not be too soft, because they will be overcooked by the time the chicken is fully done.



4. Side dish; It's possible to use rice and potatoes, but it's advisable to use one of the two. If you using rice, you can skip the potatoes and if using potatoes you can skip rice. If going for rice make sure you have enough Parboiled rice, the quantity of rice that will be enough for the stuffing and side dish.

Before you proceed with the roasting of the chicken...

1. Mix the seasoning for the body of the chicken, mix the dry ground pepper+tasty cube+grounded calabash mix probably and set aside.

2. Wash and grater or chop the carrots and the onions and set aside.

3. Wash and peel then cut the potatoes into smaller cube. The peeling is optional, in fact it's advisable not to peel it.

Procedure to follow when Roasting Whole Chicken.

Notes; Am using both rice and potatoes to stuff my chicken.

1. Preparation of the Stuff;

Parboil the rice the way you do parboil it for your Jollof Rice. But you may make it to done more than the one using for Jollof Rice, when it done, pour into a sieve to drain out the starch, and rinse it when it cool and put back into a sieve to drain. When it drain finish, pour some into a bowl, add the curry powder and stir very well before adding the diced carrots, green peas, diced onions, thyme, vegetable of your choice, salt to taste and some vegetable oil. Then continue stirring until all mixed up, then set aside.

2. Stuff the Chicken;

Wash the chicken and dry with oven for just 3 minutes, stuff the inside with the above mixed up, you may add more vegetable oil. The stuffing most not be too much in the sense that when the rice continue to cook, it should have more space to rise as it cooks. It's advisable to tie the legs of the chicken to maintain a permanent and presentable shape. set aside. If using like 2, 3, 4,to 5 whole chicken, apply the process to the remaining chicken.

Set your oven to 150°C or 160°C (320°F or 340°F) to preheat. You may rub some vegetable oil on the chicken, if you want a golden brown color. The oil rub will still help hold the mix up seasoning, but if you don't want the golden brown, skip the rubbing of oil, the chicken already have oil inside it. Besides it's advisable to rub oil, because of the mix up seasoning. Now back to the mixed up seasoning we prepared earlier, the dry ground pepper+tasty cube+grounded calabash, rub it all over the chicken and set aside. But if you have not rub oil on your chicken, add small tea cup of water and two tablespoons of oil to your seasoning before rubbing it.

3. Prepare the Side Dish;

Prepare the potatoes, pour into a bowl, add the remaining seasoning use to rub the body of the chicken, add thyme, salt and some vegetable oil, and stir all together, and set aside.

4. Bring all your set aside and Arrange for Roasting.

Get your oven tray and dish the remaining rice from the stuffing, dish in the sense that there will be a space for the chicken and seasoned potatoes. Dish the seasoned potatoes, and gently place the chicken into the space left.
 

Places back the oven tray into the preheated oven and bake for one hours, or till the chicken change to golden color. then the rice inside the chicken should have been done by then, now your Roasted Whole Chicken is ready to serve with the rice and roasted potatoes.
