Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 1 (1 1/2-2 kg) whole chickens
• 1 (40 g) packet french onion soup
• 250 ml boiling water
• 250 ml fruit chutney
• 250 ml mayonnaise
• salt & pepper

Recipe

• 1 rinse chicken,cut into portions and season with salt & pepper.
• 2 place into a large ovenproof dish with a lid.
• 3 mix the soup with the boiling water.
• 4 add the chutney and mayonnaise and mix together.
• 5 pour mixture over the chicken pieces, cover with lid and bake in a 180 degree celcius oven for 1 hour.
• 6 no need to preheat the oven.
• 7 remove the lid after an hour and bake further until the chicken browns on the top.
• 8 serve with rice and vegetables or a salad.
• 9 note: i always remove the skin off chicken. if you prefer the skin on then be sure to skim off the excess fat.
• 10 note: if you do not like using whole chicken i suggest you use thighs rather than breast - it is very easy to overcook breast and then it can be dry. thighs are much more succulent and moist, just remove any visible fat.
