I'm glad your doubts were not realised astarra - gee some people take convincing
It beats bought roasted chickens hands down, I can't remember when I last bought one but it was dry and tasteless (apart from the overuse of salt). I love the fact that you can get 2 meals from this if you don't use the stock for gravy. I sometimes take some of the stock, add some water and use that for gravy so that the bulk of the stock is still there for me to make soup. I'm only cooking for 2 though so I don't need a whole heap of gravy.

I wanted to make this today, but couldnt find a chook smaller than 1.4 - 1.6kg. Just wanted to know what is the
largest
size chook that you can do this recipe with, if I dont do the vegetables in with the chook?

Karen, it's really only the height that would be the problem, could you cut it in half or butterfly it and remove the backbone to make it fit? I've only ever done a small one myself but someone may have stretched the limits and be able to advise the size they used.

Thanks Judy - that a good idea. Our local butcher only stocks 2kg chickens, but when I told them what I wanted it for they suggested cutting it in half, cooking half and freezing the other one for later on. I just wasnt sure if this would work with this recipe.
So for today I just bought a pre-roasted one from W...lies, and will think about what to do for next time.

Must get that book then. I did the steamed golden roasted chook last nite - brilliant. Sooooo moist. Never do roast again unless I just want to crisp it up for a few mins. My bird was 2.1 size and the lid was just slightly ajar. Cooked for 90 mins (recipe said 60) and it was just nicely done thru to bone.

Wow Curry Diva - so you got a 2.1kg chicken to fit in the Varoma?? Im impressed!
What is the steamed golden roasted chicken recipe though? Is it the recipe from Devil of a Cookbook you are refererring to, or is there another one out there somewhere that I have missed??

Oops. No I was wrong. It's on the recipe community at
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/golden-roasted-chicken-gravy/42055
Recipe by Astrixdog
Recipe stated 1.2 kg bird. But mine was over 2kg. Before stuffing I pulled it well apart to loosen all the joints and pushed the body a bit flat, then extended the cooking time by 50% as stated. There was only enough room around the bird to place the apple rings. didn't bother with the gravy as we were having curries with it. Lovely recipe. I'll be steaming more chooks in the future and the devil of a cookbook is on my wish list.

Made this for supper tonight.I agree,a very moist chicken and we all loved it.Did roast potatoes in the oven,DH hates boiled spuds
Steamed carrots and broccoli in with the chicken.I have a lovely amount of chicken stock from the cooking method.I think I'll make Leek and Potato soup with it.

Yes I love this recipe too and the fact that you get a few meals from it.

Can someone please tell me if this Healthy Roast Chicken (DOAC) recipe is the same as the one that Curry Diva posted a link to (a few posts back) on the thermomix recipe community titled Golden Roasted Chicken? I'm really keen to try the Healthy Roast Chicken recipe but I don't have the book and really don't think I will be purchasing as there is little in there that appeals to me. Thanks in advance
