Bottle-Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken
• 2 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp cardamom
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 5 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tbsp vinegar

Method

1. Clean the chicken and trim the excess. Rub it well with the salt, lemon and vinegar, then add the remaining ingredients and massage inside and out.
2. Leave in the fridge for a day or half a day so it absorbs the marinade.
3. Fill a bottle with water (or use a bottle of Pepsi), stand the chicken on it and roast in the oven for at least two hours. Brush the skin with ketchup and oil or butter.
4. Serve with garlic sauce (toum), potatoes or rice.
