whole chicken
1/4
cup
chopped fresh mint
1/3
cup
coconut oil
1
unwaxed lemon and zest
pinch
sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to about 180oC
Mix the mint, oil, salt and lemon zest to a paste
Place the chicken into a roasting dish and rub all but 1 tbsp of this under the skin of the chicken being careful not to break the skin
Rub the remaining tbsp over the top of the chicken and pop the lemon (halved) into the cavity
Roast for as long as is appropriate for the size of the chicken (usually around 1.5 hours)
Allow to rest for about 15 mins under some foil for extra juiciness
