Crispy Skinned Roast Chicken
I love a salty crispy skinned roast chook don't you? It reminds me of Australia for some reason. I think we are pretty unique with the roast chicken!
No Thermomix required, just some good basic cooking skills and of course my fave salt, Murray River pink salt flakes! There is nothing quite as enticing as the smell of a chicken roasting. It is homey, mouth watering and promises of a good night in. So sort out your taters, get the salt organised and the free range chook, sage doesn't hurt either. Dinner is served!
