    Today we are reviving an old post - Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk. This is a recipe for the most comforting, soothing, and delicious Roast Chicken ever with meltingly succulent fall off the bone juicy meat.

    Chicken in Milk

    This is a fool proof and easy recipe for Chicken in Milk which I first came across a few years ago via Jamie Oliver. The sauce for the chicken is mild yet flavourful and comforting.

    What I love about Chicken in Milk

    1. The gentle flavours are delicious.
    2. The meat is so tender that you can just pull it apart.
    3. It is pretty much hands off - After the initial searing, you can leave it to do it's thing. 
    4. Pretty Healthy Family Meal! 

    How to make Chicken in Milk

    1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/Gas Mark 5.
    2. Pat dry and season generously. Then sear until coloured all over. Pour off the Fat.
    3. Add Lemon, Garlic, Milk, Cinnamon, Bay and Sage and cook in the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting occasionally. You can adapt this according to your taste.
    4. Spoon the juices over the Chicken.

    What to serve with this Chicken:

    Any roast vegetables work well. It is also delicious served on a bed of rice.

    Jeera Rice

    Peri Peri Rice

    Roast Vegetables with Feta and Pine Nuts

    Roast Cauliflower Salad with Zingy dressing

    Crunchy Roast Potatoes

    Home Made Aunt Bessie Style Roast Potatoes

    Yorkshire Puddings

    Top tips to make Chicken in Milk

    1. You want a pot that has a little space but not too much. 
    2. Brown the chicken all over because a lot of the flavour comes from the skin.
    3. Squash the garlic cloves at the end to flavour the juices.

    Make Ahead

    The Chicken can be roasted up to 4 days ahead. Store shredded chicken in an airtight container and place in the fridge.

    Freezer Instructions 

    Cooked chicken can be frozen in a large ziplock freezer bag and press out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. It will be fine for up to 3 months. Thaw the cooked chicken (in the ziplock bag) overnight in the fridge.
