Lemon Ginger Thyme Roast Chicken.

Lemon Ginger Thyme Roast Chicken.

I brined this roasting chicken in a kosher salt, lemon juice and thyme base for 12 hours. I rinsed off in a cold water bath. Placed on a large sheet of parchment paper. Rub the bird down with a tablespoon of soft butter. Massage it into the legs and breast. Now grate some fresh lemon rind and pick the leaves of fresh thyme.  I also grated one Tbs. of fresh ginger and fine chopped two spring onions and minced 2 garlic cloves, sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Add half rind less lemon and place into the cavity. Completely wrap up into a closed bag with the parchment paper. Place into a roaster and cover. The steam from the juices will stay closer to the meat being packed in paper, there for giving you a very flavor succulent bird.

BBQ-ing is the best way to get optimum flavour.
