Date and Olive Roasted Chicken
This is the best chicken I've EVER tasted. So juicy and so flavourful! Make sure you have a little bit of date, olive and garlic with the chicken in each bite!!
Ingredients
-
1 Chicken
-
6-8 Medjool dates
-
1 cup Olives
-
4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme
-
1 small garlic head, with the cloves separated out
-
Olive oil to taste
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375F.
-
Rinse chicken.
-
Stuff chicken with a few dates and olives and a sprig or two of fresh thyme.
-
Place the chicken in a baking dish or baking pot with the breast side down (this will keep the breasts juicy!)
-
Place the whole garlic cloves and the remaining dates and olives around the chicken.
-
Rub the chicken down with olive oil and finish with salt and pepper to taste.
-
**Don’t add water to the pan/pot, the chicken will make all the juices
-
Cover the chicken with either aluminum foil or a lid if you’re using a baking pot, and bake for 1 hour. Always check your chicken’s temperature before eating. It should be at 160F.
-
To crisp up the outside broil the chicken for 5-10 min.
-
Enjoy :)

Ps: You can save the bones for a bone/chicken broth!
