How tempting can a freshly roasted chicken be in winter! Especially when it has perfect color all over, as if it were made on a rotisserie, and the meat so well done that it comes off the bones on its own, but at the same time having tender and succulent breast. Add to that a 60-minute window in which it stays warm, in case guests are late. Only advantages!

How to prepare cajun roasted chicken

For the seasoning, grind all ingredients in a mini food processor or coffee grinder. Store in a closed jar. It is a simple but tasty seasoning, suitable for chicken or potatoes.
Dry the chicken well with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt all over, including inside. Insert the lemon cut into 4 pieces inside.
Then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning over the chicken. Massage to spread everywhere. Then put a little oil in your palm and massage again so the seasoning sticks well to the chicken.
Preheat the oven to 200C (top and bottom heat). Place the chicken breast-side up in a spacious heat-resistant dish, where the chicken fits comfortably.
Place the chicken in the oven, one level below the middle (if placed in the middle, the fat reaches the hot elements above and burns, generating smoke and unpleasant smell).
Leave for 90 minutes in the oven. After 45 minutes, brush all over with the fat left in the tray and rotate the tray in the oven so it browns evenly.
At the end of the 90 minutes, brush the chicken again with the fat from the tray, turn off the oven and leave the chicken inside (minimum 30 minutes - maximum 60 minutes).
