Easy Roast Chicken Dinner with a jug of delicious gravy | Formula for Perfect Roast Chicken

There's minimal prep needed for this easy roast chicken. No trivets, no butter under the skin, just a simple, tasty and juicy roast chicken with a big jug of delicious gravy. This is the best way to roast a chicken.

The key formula for the perfect roast chicken is to cook for 45 minutes per kg (2.2lbs), plus an extra 20 minutes at 180C/350F - until the internal temperature of the chicken is 75C/165F.

Ingredients for the roast chicken:
Whole chicken – 1.75kg – 2kg ideally free-range
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp dried thyme
½ lemon chopped into two wedges (optional)

Gravy
Meat juices from your roasted chicken
3 chicken stock cubes crumbled
3 cups (720ml) hot vegetable stock - from your boiled/steamed vegetables and potatoes
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp gravy browning optional
2 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch
5 tbsp cold water

The way to use the gravy of chicken is really good. It's like making steak sauce

This is making me hungry. Is it bad that I’m going to cook this and eat the whole thing to myself ahah 😂

Awesome, I love you haha.
All I wanted was to find a nice simple British roast chicken video, so many are proper fancy. You saved a single, retired soldiers day 👍🏻
Roast dinner is the food of the gods 🇬🇧

Just discovered this channel. Love your videos! Due to this quarantine I have started to look at cooking videos to learn how to cook better. I've got a lot of learning to do still and I'm glad I found your channel. One question, what brand of chicken cube bouillon do you use? Thank you!

Tried the gravy recipe, only used 1 stock cubes as I didn’t have as much juice from the chicken.
Compliments all round. Really easy to follow.
Thank you very much ❤

I love a classic roast chicken dinner. My mum used to cook it for all the family every other Sunday. The roast spuds look delicious too. I like them garnished with salt, pepper and a few herbs. But... NO GARLIC!!!
