Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes, plus 4 hours’ brining time

Cooking Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

1x 3.8 kg free-range whole chicken

For the brine, mix:

1.5 litres water
2 T Worcestershire sauce
4 T sea salt
50 g sugar
2 star anise
4 T peppercorns
4 sprigs fresh thyme

For the bongo paste, mix:

3 T spring onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove
1 T sugar
1 t ground allspice
1 t ground cinnamon
1 T fresh thyme
2 T fresh parsley
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 t dried chilli flakes
4 T olive oil

Method

1. Place the chicken on a board and cut out the spine using scissors. Press down firmly to spatchcock. Place in a 4-litre capacity dish. Pierce all over using toothpicks.

2. Pour the brine over the chicken and allow to stand for at least 4 hours or overnight in the fridge.

3. Preheat the oven to 200°C and lightly grease a roasting pan with cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry using kitchen paper. Place in the roasting pan.

4. Rub the bongo paste all over the chicken. Cover with foil and roast for 30 minutes.

5. Remove the foil and roast for a further 20 minutes, until cooked through.

Cook’s note: The chicken’s cooking time depends on its size, so adjust it if necessary.
