Recipe's preparation

    Roast Chicken
  1. 1. Rinse cavity of chicken and pat dry

    2. Extend legs and wings of chicken to crack joints. Rubber band the legs together and fold wings behind chicken

    3. Insert onion, lemon, celery and garlic into the cavity of the chicken

    4. Place honey, olive oil, cinnamon, paprika, salt and pepper into Thermomix bowl and mix for 20 seconds / speed 5

    5. Pierce the skin of the chicken and brush all over with the honey glaze.

    6. Place the water into the Thermomix bowl. Place the chicken into the Varoma and place into position. Cook the chicken for 70 minutes / Varoma / speed 2

    7. For a golden brown skin, place the chicken into an oven preheated to 180C and roast for a further 10 - 15 minutes. Alternatively, leave to rest in Varoma for 10 minutes

     

Tip

Use the reserved liquid to create a gravy.

I also cooked some sweet potato in the steam basket (I had to tip out some of the liquid) for the final 10 minutes of the chicken cooking in the Varoma and placed in the oven with the chicken for 10 - 15 minutes

    Sooo Juicy!

    What a great way to cook a whole chicken. My chicken was only small (1.4kg) so I reduced the cooking time by 5 mins. It looked great when it was finished in the varoma but I popped it in the air fryer on 200 degrees for 10mins to crisp up the skin a bit....perfect!

    I wasn't a fan of the cinnamon flavour on the skin but understand that that's a personal preference.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    Sensational
    I cooked this for the first time last night and it was beautiful! I used my own recipe for seasoning and then rubbed with a mix of butter and italian seasoning. As it was a 2kg bird, I cooked for a bit longer. I finished it off on the oven as for me, chicken has to be browned, crispy skin. The meat was so tender, moist and full of flavour. This is now the only way I will cook a roast chicken and so much better flavour than the bought ones.
    Unfortunatley, the gravy I made was not that great, texture was good but I didn’t get the flavour right.

    This recipe is a winner in this house! Our oven is broken so this is the only way to have a roast until it's fixed! I follow it exactly and then do a gravy at the end (following notes in a comment below) I finish it off in the air fryer for 10 minutes to crispen up the skin.....loved by everyone! Thanks for a great recipe!

    So delicious. I got two chicken from Costco so oven baked one and steamed the other. . I also finished the sauce off as a gravy by adding gravox and cooking on 90 degrees for about 8 minutes. Par-steamed the potatoes with the chicken and then finished them off in the oven with the other veggies.

    Great recipe thanks! Loved by my family. They said "Amazing taste and so juicy". I cooked a 2.4kg chook, so added 20 mins cooking time and turned it over in the last 10 mins. Also did the rice option, thanks to comments with some frozen veg mixed in with 10 mins to go. Had some roast veges in the oven and finished off the chicken with them for the extra 15 mins. I made the gravy but the fam said it wasn't needed as chook was so lovely on it's own.
