Nothing beats a classic roast chicken, so familiar for a Sunday lunch. Lazy to make a delicious stuffing? Try this one, it’s quick to make and will put that roast chicken in another league!

Stuffing

Basting Sauce

Wash the inside of the chicken under running water. Place chicken in a large roasting pan.
Stuffing: Soak bread slices in milk and Spur Southern Style BBQ Sauce until soft. Add all the other ingredients and stuff the chicken. Truss the chicken (close with string).
Basting: Drizzle half of the oil over the chicken and place in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes. Mix remaining oil with the basting sauces and water. Brush the chicken all over.
Roast further for about 1 1/4 hours, basting frequently. If the chicken becomes too brown, just cover lightly with foil. Roast for about 1 1/2 hours in total, or until the chicken is cooked through and brown.

VARIATIONS

Substitute Spur Grill Basting with an other Spur basting of choice.
Roast chicken with any vegetables of choice, such as carrots, broccoli, or potatoes.

TIPS

To truss a chicken ensures that the legs and wings get fastened, to maintain an even shape while roasting, but it is not necessary.
Roast the chicken halfway and then make slight diagonal cuts into the chicken breasts so the basting sauce is absorbed more.
