A Very Simple Roast: Garlic and Butter Chicken

I have been meaning to finish this post for quite some time now. As the title says, it's a very simple roast, a very simple recipe that has always been a hit with our family. This dish has always been our go-to dish whenever we didn't have time to cook or just simply cannot think of anything that we feel like eating. A very simple roast with a dipping sauce of banana ketchup and liquid seasoning combination is 100% guaranteed happiness for me and the kids. I still think we can actually finish two whole chickens if I would allow it! lol! Actually we have got two versions of this dish, either I roast the chicken whole using a turbo broiler or just cut the chicken in half and deep fry it. Of course, this may not be as popular as the unbeatable fried chicken but then, we much prefer this dish as with this method, the chicken is able to retain all its juices compared to the fried chicken pieces which loses the juice while frying.
For this dish, I have used 1 whole fresh chicken (and that's the trick, it is just not the same with a frozen chicken!) about 1.2kg seasoned it with salt and pepper, then sprinkled it with lemon juice all over. And when you season, please do include the inner cavity of the chicken and try also to season with salt the outer layer of the meat just beneath the skin. Then I had put some crushed garlic inside the cavity for added aroma and flavor. Set it breast down in the turbo broiler and cooked for 30 minutes. Just 10minutes before the chicken was fully cooked I have basted the skin with butter. When cooked, wait at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving the chicken.
Truly a hit anytime, served with a dipping sauce of  mixed ketchup and liquid seasoning and hot rice (oh, if you have the chance include some roasted veggies also as siding!) Enjoy!

Mommy tip: do get a turbo broiler, it would make your life easier big time! :)
