Chicken in Milk cooking instructions
| Step 1 | Preheat oven to 190c/gas mark 5/ 375°F. And season the chicken generously.. |
| Step 2 | In a deep heavy pan brown the chicken in olive oil.. |
| Step 3 | Times vary depending on the size of the chicken. My chicken was cut into medium pieces so it took about 5-10 minutes to brown the chicken. Turn the chicken a few times to get an even colour all over.. |
| Step 4 | Transfer chicken to a plate. In the original recipe it's recommended you remove the excess fat. Don't throw it away as it has good flavour and you can use it to make roast potatoes or in a different dish.. |
| Step 5 | Put the chicken back into the pot. Pour in the milk and add in the lemon zest, cinnamon stick, fresh sage, salt and scatter the garlic cloves in the pan.. |
| Step 6 | Cover with lid and transfer to the oven. Bake for 60 minutes. Baste with the juices occasionally.. |
| Step 7 | Remove lid and bake for a further 30 minutes.. |
| Step 8 | Let it rest for 10 minutes. Then to serve pull the meat off the bone. On the plate spoon the juices over the meat.. |
You bake in the oven for an hour and a half, basting with the milk when you remember, and voilà: a seriously good chicken. Possibly the best roast chicken I have ever had. And it is so much easier than traditional roast chicken. Insanely juicy, flavour infused chicken every single time. Not "fall apart" tender, but it's not a roast for.
