It's written on the label for the chicken.

I made this for Mother's Day and both my parents couldn't get enough. They said it was the best chicken they ever had! I was very proud of myself.

I don't really understand what kind of herb leaves he put it.i hope u can tell me thank u

[@peveral4246]

@@Jhonjiguantinas The herbs Jamie Oliver utilized for this recipe consist primarily of marjoram, basil, and parsley. I may be inaccurate in saying this, but I believe you can replace marjoram with herbs such as thyme or sage if marjoram isn't available where you are.

aww ☺️

[@EveyMo]

Definitely trying this. Just a quick Q. Was it salty enough? The seasoning seems a bit small 😅

[@alexandrakrupa8878]

@@EveyMo The chicken itself was perfect, if anything, I would probably put more salt into the gravy since that is my preference

[@wendystinger]

Jamie, that is a beautiful roast chicken! Simple, with flavor galore, crispy skin, and the awesome gravy...a truly royal meal! Thank you for this and all your food transformations! Lovely lovely lovely Jamie!

[@121website]

This sounds perfect, gonna try this today. Love the idea of pushing the herbs behind the skin. Im gonna add some garlic in there too. Happy eating everyone.

I do the same with my turkey 😋😋😋😋😋😋

Jamie - You life saver!!! I live in Japan and I was suddenly asked to make a roast chicken. For some reason I accepted. I just followed your video and improvised where I could. No need to say, the dish was a success and I was up a notch on everyone's Christmas list. Thank you for taking the time to make these little gems.

[@denisesavoie9915]

BRAVO! What a delicious roast chicken!! It’s the second time I’ve made it and I feel like a real chef with those techniques to add flavor. It’s a winner. I love you Jamie!

[@areefakhan8032]

That was bloody amazing! I love how you use ingredients that most people already have at home, and your cooking is economical in a sense that you've used the leftover onion etc to make a gravy, Love your channel and your hard work Jamie, thanks again. Your fan in South Africa.

[@kurt5079]

To take the gravy to another level simply save the pan water from boiling the lemon and use that to make the gravy. The subtle lemon flavour it adds is really nice.

Jamie makes this look so easy. I've got my attempt in the oven now and the prep work was a solid hour (half of which was trying to 'pop that little ball joint" twice.

[@tammynelson9568]

I have tried for years to make a baked chicken. It always ended up just okay. But I don’t eat the skin and when that is gone so is the flavor. I want to say I have successfully made the best baked chicken of my life. It is moist and the flavors just explode. Then with all the meat left(which wasn’t a ton) I made my homemade chicken noodle soup with it. I want to say THANK YOU for continuing to give me confidence and inspiration.

[@youtubecreators384]

A whole chicken is very cheap here in Sweden. And every time I buy one, I follow this recipe. Thank you so much Jamie Oliver.

[@semanticsamuel936]

The very cheap chickens are crap. Those very cheap chickens are intensively reared and grow at alarming rates (usually slaughtered after 30-35 days), stuffed full of artificial foodstuffs and excessive amounts of antibiotics. This isn't quality food, and it's extremely cruel. I'm of the opinion that those of us who make the decision to eat meat need to ensure our meat is responsibly sourced. It costs more, but that's fine because we shouldn't be eating so much meat - we should limit our meat consumption so that when we buy a piece of meat, it's the absolute best it can be and really put the effort into cooking something of top-notch quality that respects the animal. You can taste the difference between a quality piece of meat and a cheap one.
