How To Cook Italian Roast Chicken
Preheat your oven to 180 deg C or 350 deg F. Place the wholeroasting chicken on a roaster or in your prefered roasting dish.Brush the chicken well with the Basil Pesto and bake / roast forabout 1 1/4 hours or until the juices run clear. Garnish with the Parmesan cheese shavings and enjoy it with your favourite Roasted Chicken accompaniments. My favourites are roast potatoes, baby peas and cauliflower with cheese sauce.

Perfect Basil Pesto RecipeIngredients
Place the basil, garlic, salt and about half the olive oil in the
food processor. Process so that the mix is finely chopped. Then add
the nuts and the rest of the olive oil and process until the pine nuts
are lightly chopped. Finally add the Parmesan cheese and process until
it's all mixed together. You can store this Pesto in the refrigerator
for up to a week or you can freeze it in small blocks (like ice cube trays)
for whenever you need Pesto.
