roast chicken & roast potatoes


Roast Chicken
Ingredients :-
4 whole leg chickens
half cup olive oil
1 tea spoon oregano
salt
pepper
Method :-
Rub the chicken with a little olive oil and season all over with salt, oregano and pepper. Set the oven temperature to 200ºC. Place the frying pan over a high heat and add the rest of the olive oil. When hot add the chicken and brown it on all sides and remove. Put the chicken into roasting tray (I prefer to cover with aluminium foil for cleaning purpose) and start roasting the chicken. After half an hour open the oven and spoon the excess oil and pour over to the chicken. Then cook for a further 30 minutes or till crispy golden brown.
Roast Potatoes
Ingredients:-
5 potatoes (peel & cut to 2 pieces)
3 spoon butter
salt
pepper
Method :-
Boil potatoes to half cook. Drain the water away and let the potatoes cool completely. Place the frying pan over the high heat and melt the butter. Add the potatoes and brown it. Add salt & pepper and brown it on all sides. Remove potatoes into the preheated oven or you can roast together with the chicken.
