  • Place in the middle of the preheated oven and cook at 180 for 1hr 20 minutes or until the thigh meat juice runs clear(this can depend on the chicken so it is better to follow the packaging instructions for a better idea of cooking time.
  • If using Cauliflower cook until soft(roughly the same time). Start cooking wrapped in foil and remove for the last 20 minutes to brown the marinade.
  • Carve up the chicken for a delicious Sunday dinner. Serve with roasted vegetables or spiced rice.
