Roast Chicken with Miso Braised Corn

Roast Chicken with Miso Braised Corn

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Coles free range chicken

  • 1 cup water 

  • 4 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp ground cumin 

  • 3 cobs corn, husks removed 

  • 2 medium brown onions, sliced in half lengthways 

  • ½ bunch thyme 

  • 2 tsp white miso paste 

  • 40g Coles butter 

Method

  • Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees C. Place the corn cobs, onions cut side down, thyme and water into the base of a roasting tray to make a trivet to keep the chicken off the bottom of the tin. 

  • Cut the backbone out of the chicken to butterfly it down flat. Reserve the backbone to make stock in another recipe. Massage the chicken with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, ground cumin and sea salt then place on top of the corn. Roast the chicken for 1 hour or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set the chicken and onions aside to rest. 

  • Remove the thyme sprigs from the tray. Cut the corn kernels off the cobs into the tray and place the tray over a gas burner on a medium heat. Whisk in the miso and butter to the corn and allow to simmer for a few minutes to thicken, adding a dash more water if the pan juices have evaporated. 

  • Place the miso braised onto the base of a serving plate. Top with the chicken and serve.
