This Recipe Roast Chicken is made with Thermomix! I know, it can be made without thermomix. However, one of my most favourite things to cook in the Thermomix is to steam a whole chicken. Steaming the chicken in the Varoma makes the chicken very moist. The chicken meat tend to dry out on the oven in comparison of when it’s steamed first. The smell of a chicken roasting. can be so exciting!

Also, If you are only 1 or 2 people you can use some chicken pieces instead of a whole chicken. For a healthy low carb option, this spiced cauliflower rice makes the perfect side next to this yummy roast chicken.
