Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Roasting Tin
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1.6 kg Whole Chicken
  • 4 tbsp Chicken Seasoning by Goodness In A Bowl (see Notes below to shop)
  • 2 tbsp Softened Butter or Olive Oil
  • 1 Lemon (halved)

Instructions
 

  • Prep: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Pat the chicken skin completely dry with kitchen paper – this is vital for a crispy finish.
  • Season: Mix the softened butter with your Chicken Seasoning to form a paste. Rub the paste all over the chicken, including under the skin of the breast if possible.
  • Roast: Place the chicken in a roasting tin and insert the lemon halves into the cavity. Roast for 1 hour and 15–20 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
  • Rest: Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving. The brown sugar will have caramelised with the chicken juices to create a natural "glaze".

Notes

The ultimate way to use the Chicken Seasoning blend. The sugar in the seasoning creates a crispy, mahogany-coloured skin that looks incredible in photos.
The combination of Brown Sugar with both Sweet and Smoked Paprika creates that sought-after “Barbecue” or “Rotisserie” finish—sweet, smoky, and deeply golden.
