Ingredients
  

  • 2 kg Whole Chicken
  • ½ Lemon
  • 1 sml Onion
  • 60 g Butter
  • Parsley (Dried or fresh)
  • Thyme (Dried or fresh)
  • Sage and Onion stuffing (As much as you want)
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 190°c/170°c Fan/Gas 5.
  • Put the parsley and thyme into the cavity of the chicken, add the lemon and onion, and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the stuffing mixture into the neck end of the chicken.
  • Weigh the chicken, and calculate the roasting time if it doesn't say so on the packet. 45 minutes per kg plus an extra 20 minutes. Rub the butter over the breast and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place in a roasting tin. If you're not using tinfoil to cover the chicken, you will need to baste it every 20 minutes. If you are using tin foil remove it 30 minutes before it's ready.
  • Check to see the chicken is done, and transfer it to a warm serving plate and cover it with tinfoil whilst you make the gravy.
