One of my favorite Roasted Chicken I have tasted a year ago that taste really good even without gravy or sauce is Chooks to go’s Roasted Chicken. The juice has come out of the meat not dry just cooked right, so when I am eating it, rice is just somewhere in our table just a perfect combination of it. I couldn’t refuse rice.

Since buying this is a little bit expensive and if I make it myself, I can save a little from buying it. There is one thing that I am sure about roasted chicken is to marinate it overnight so it will become juicy and tasty on the inside. Marination is the secret method when you want your meat to be juicy or tasty.

The longer it marinates, the better it is.

I always do this method when I want to grill, roast or fry a meat to make my meat tastier.


Just like this recipe today, I made a very simple Roasted Chicken without using an Oven. We don’t have an oven at home so this is basically an improvised oven. You can also watch how I did it, I bake it with it. Technically for those who had an Oven, there is temperature given, but in this method, you can only adjust it to medium just to be safe, let’s stick in medium fire.


What we will need:

  • 1 whole chicken
  • lemongrass - Get 1 stalk lemongrass to tie a chicken leg and the rest for putting it in the chicken’s body
  • 1 whole onion
  • ground black pepper


mixture for marination:

  • 12 pc. calamansi juice
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. sugar
  • 4 tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 4 tbsp. Sprite/7up/Royal

Improvised oven:

  • 2 cups of salt
  • Pot



Step 1 & 2: Combine the juice of calamansi, ground black pepper, salt, soy sauce, sugar, soy sauce and oyster sauce (this will serve as our marination solution sauce)

Step 3: Mix and stir well.


Step 4 & 5: Put the lemongrass inside the chicken’s body and whole onion.

I hope you try this too at home and thanks for visiting.


Note: If you don’t want your roasted chicken to be oily, you can remove the skin before marinating and roasting it. It might be a little bit oily.
