Chicken Roasted on a Jar

A whole chicken with garlic and mayonnaise, roasted upright on a jar of water.

Steps

  1. 1. Rub the bird with garlic, salt it and spread mayonnaise over the top.

  2. 2. Fill a jar (a milk jar is best) with water and sit the chicken on it.

  3. 3. Stand it on a frying pan in an oven heated to 180 °C, so the fat does not splash round the oven.

  4. 4. In 40–50 minutes the chicken is golden and done.
