Chicken in Milk

After I saw this recipe at Jamie Oliver’s site I told myself I will making it someday, well that did not happen as my wife made it first before I did. It’s quite a straightforward recipe where you just place a browned whole chicken in a snug fitting oven safe pot filled with seasoned milk then baked until tender.

The milk is then turned into a savoury sauce after the lemon splits them into curd and liquid. Cinnamon, sage and garlic plays an important role where it adds pleasant aroma and mildly spice up the dish. The result is a unique roast that is very tender, juicy and definitely very tasty.
