Roasted Chicken with Bears- Garlic
Inspired by my husband’s Roasted Salvia Chicken, I wanted to surprise him
with my own version. I wanted to add another flavor to it - something seasonal
and I didn’t have to go far. Just a stone’s throw from my house lots
and lots of Bear Garlic grow so I decided to make a “Roasted Bear-Garlic
Chicken” and here is how I did it:
•
Ca 2kg chicken
•
Salt ( maldon salt or sea salt) and ground black pepper
•
1 whole garlic broken into cloves
•
1 1⁄2 handful of Bears-Garlic (bearlauch)
•
Olive oil
•
A handful fresh rosemary
•
A little pack of bacon stripes (ca 7 pieces)
Preparing the chicken:
Start by preheating the oven at 190 Celsius. Then rub the chicken inside and
out with a lot of salt and pepper and olive oil. Push the garlic cloves and the
Bearlauch in the cavity. There is nothing wrong in putting some garlic leaves
under the chicken skin – by doing that the chicken meat will absorb the
wonderful Bearlauch aroma.
After doing all this put the chicken on a roasting tray and cook it for about
1 and a halv hour min in the preheated oven. If you want to add bacon to the
chicken as well, take the chicken out of the oven after 40-45 minutes and lay
the slices over the chicken breast and let it cook for another 40-45 minutes.
My roasted bearlauch chicken tastes good with a homemade potato mash or roasted
potatoes on the side:
