Tipps

Choose a Good Quality Chicken

Choosing a good quality, fresh chicken can enhance the flavours of this dish. Preferably, opt for organic or free-range chicken.

Let the Chicken Rest

After roasting, let the chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring moist and flavourful meat.

Use Fresh Vegetables

Fresh, local and seasonal root vegetables can make this dish taste even better. Try mixing in different types of root vegetables based on the season.

Control Your Portions

Whilst this dish is low in histamine, portion control is still important. A balanced meal should also include a portion of carbohydrates and leafy green vegetables.
