I adore everything about it from the Christmas tree, to the lights, the ornaments, the gifts in the stockings,christmas carols, red caps and the plum cake!…oh such magic!

Whats your favourite part about Christmas?Mine is tie between the carols and the plum cake.I am not kidding but I have been singing Merry Christmas to baby Vansh since he was born..:D

My all time dream is to one day be in a place like Germany or New York midst all the snow and the Christmas joy..making snowmen and rolling in the snow…and maybe hopefully invited to eat an authentic Christmas dinner in someones house!

For now I will contend with just making a gigantic feast for friends and family on Christmas.This Chicken was a rehearsal for my Christmas Dinner.I can’t wait to start decorating my house with all things Santa and fairy.

Herb & Paprika Roast Chicken is something which I have made since last few Christmases and I have learnt a few tricks to make the juiciest roast chicken.

  • Skin-Always but chicken with skin while roasting it in the oven.The skin gives it moisture and also makes sure that the juices inside do not evaporate.
  • Brine Brine Brine- Make a simple brine of salt, bay leaf and pepper.Immerse the chicken in the Brine overnight in the fridge for a succulent and super tender chicken.
  • Timing-Do not over bake the Chicken.A 1- 1.5 kg(2-3 pound)  chicken usually gets done in about 45 minutes to 1 hour.Nothing more than that.
  • How to Check if its cooked-To check if the chicken is cooked pierce the chicken between the chicken leg and body.Clean juices should ooze out.You can also use a thermometer and check the thigh temperature.It should read anywhere between 165-170 degree F or 75 C.

As this chicken is roasted with skin you don’t need to add any oil or butter to it.So its a quite healthy main course.
