Ingredients |
1/2 lemon, sliced
1 lemon, cut into wedges to serve
handful of parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tsp sumac
1 medium chicken (make sure the chicken is not too large,
otherwise it will not fit into the oven)
vegetable oil, for rubbing
1 can lager, stout or beer
|
|
-
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C
fan/gas 6. In a bowl, mix the lemon, parsley, salt and
sumac.
-
Stuff the mixture into the
chicken, ensuring that you compact it in and leave enough
space for the can of beer. Rub the outside of the chicken
with vegetable oil.
-
Open the can of beer, pour 1/4
into a glass (to drink!) and place the can in a roasting tray.
Position the chicken on top so it sits upright onto the
can.
-
Put it into the oven for 50 or until cooked through. Make sure the chicken is
stable or it will fall over in the oven. Check
that the chicken is cooked by pulling the leg away from
the body and making sure the juices run clear.
-
Once cooked, cut the chicken
and pull the joints apart. Serve on a plate with lemon
wedges.
