This is one of the ways I love to prepare roasted chicken, it has so much flavour, the juices makes for a great gravy or sauce. If you like you can butterfly your chicken by removing the back bone….I actually prefer roasting chicken that way…the thigh’s and legs get a nice and crispy skin that way. If you choose to butterfly your chicken, squeeze some lemon juice over the chicken and slice some lemon and lay the slices over the chicken, add the fresh herbs and seasoning over the skin.

I call this chicken semi- fried as I don’t fry it the whole way through. I love the taste of fried chicken….but fried greasy food does not sit well in my tummy. The way I prepare it, the oil is not being soaked up by the chicken,  I use just enough oil to lightly brown the skin.

I simply brown the skin so it gets crispy and fried like texture while its baking.

So here goes to make my semi- fried chicken!

Butter chicken is one of my sons favourite dishes!
