Suddenly decided to do a roast today. I spend some time having breakfast at Cafe Cartel in Serangoon Garden (reading newspapers). Then, I was off to the supermarket. The prices of stuff have really gone up…pick a few things and out goes S$20!
Marinate for my roast chicken (no measurement, I like to go by feel-ing)
* 5 spices powder
* Chilli powder
* Garlic powder
* Chinese wine
* Sesame oil
* Dark Soya sauce
* Salt
* Olive oil
Mix them together to form a paste. Spread generously under the skin of the chicken (this way, the chicken will absorb better) and the remaining paste for the whole chicken. Set the chicken aside in the fridge for a few hours.
Heat up oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Spread the base of the baking pan with chopped onion, garlic & olive oil. In goes the chicken. Surround the chicken with new potato and carrots. Add in a cup of water.
Pop the tray into the preheated oven.
One and a half hour later….dinner is ready….
Gravy can be made from the liquid in tray. Bring to a boil, add in celery, bay leaves, salt, chilli. Mix cornflour with water to thicken gravy.
