Easy Golden Roast Chicken- IGA Tasmania

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 kg whole chicken
• 80ml apricot preserves
• Mix together the cumin and cinnamon and add 1½ teaspoons sea salt.
• Rub the mix all over the chicken.
• Let sit for at least one hour (even overnight in the refrigerator).
• Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the chicken in a roasting pan, breast-side up and loosely cover with foil.
• Cook for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook for another 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the apricot jam in a small saucepan until warm and runny.
• Remove the chicken from the oven, and baste well with the apricot jam.
• Increase the oven temperature to 200°C.
• Return the chicken to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes, basting the chicken again halfway through, until the glaze is bubbling and ‘golden’.
• Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
