Hi everyone, let me just talk a little bit about myself.

I'm currently studying in NTU I am blessed to have a wonderful family and a loving boyfriend who will be my food tester. The reason why I started this blog is because there are many recipe out there but there are some which I find it really awesome and I would like share with everyone.

Virgin Roasted Chicken & Virgin minicooper ride
written on Sunday, 11 August 2013 @ 8:21 pm ✈
So Mommy and I thought that maybe we can do something else to the little oven of mine besides baking cakes and cookies and we thought that perhaps we can baked roasted chicken instead. I have been planning to do and sourcing out for the recipe I'm not sure if it will succeed. So... today is the day!
After the morning rain, we walked to the nearby supermarket to get the ingredients and we purchase many things and we aren't sure if we could carry everything back home but thank god my boyfriend came and save us :)
*So nice of him*
As we had our lunch together, my mom saw her friend and her daughter. They are friendly and nice people, they offered to drive us back and that is when we know that they are a bit well to do. Her daughter drove a a minicooper (my dream car) and thank god we are slim enough to queeze into that small car :X so nice of them.
Ok so back to the roasted chicken, we spend approximately 2 -3 hours on the preparation of the chicken.
My boyfriend is my assistant for the day, we realised that I cannot cut the corns and my boyfriend is afraid of touching raw chicken, and cleaning the chicken. But well, we helped each other as we were preparing. Boyfriend helps me with the corn and I cleaned the chicken :)
I don't really have a recipe for it this but these are the ingredients that I have added...
  
Baked Roasted Chicken
1 whole chicken
3 cloves of garlic
50g of butter (at room temperature)
2 corns on the cob
1 packet of baby carrot
4 potatoes
3 small red onions
Generous amount of mixed herbs (Thyme, Rosemarry, sage, basil)
Generous amount of black pepper and salt
Generous amount of garlic powder *Secret ingredient*
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 450F.
2.Wash and prepare the vegetables.
3. Cut the chicken's neck and feet as well as its butt.
4. Wash the chicken thoroughly, do ensure that the hidden spots (behind the chicken wing) are well washed
5. Use a paper towel to dry the chicken so that it would be crispy.
6. Put in generous amount of mixed herbs, black pepper, salt and not forgetting the garlic powder into the butter.
***Tips: I understand that many of you might be thinking that it can be very salty if you were to add a generous amount but by doing so it will ensure that the chicken and vegetable will be well season especially when the duration for the seasoning is short so don't be afraid to add more.
7. You can marinate it for 2 hours or even better overnight or you can use it immediately.
***Tips: For those who are using it immediately you can use a knife and poke on the chicken so that the chicken would be able to capture the seasoning.
8. Add the remaining seasoning to the vegetable and lay the vegetable around the chicken.
9. Put the chicken into the oven for 1 hour
***Tips: depending on the size of the chicken, if you had those very big chicken you would probably have to cook longer, try flipping the chicken to see if there is any blood stain on other side of the chicken. If there isn't and use a chopstick and poke into the chicken and if it seems easy to poke, you are done.
10. You are ready to serve.
