Spit Roasted Chicken from Victor Churchill

There is something about the old fashion spit roasted chook. Must be having grown up in the suburbs of Sydney. The spit roasted chicken and chips or veg or salad graced our household on many Friday nights when my mum wanted an easy dinner.

I had high hopes for this challenge to take me back to those times where a whipped up dinner was some of the funnest. It didn't disappoint.

Part of the fun of this challenge was that i finally got to go to the famed Victor Churchill's butcher. Having seen in numerous times, I always was impressed by the beautiful design and that was just from looking in from the outside. The store is just something else. It reflects the respect for the produce, something not seen at the everyday supermarket.

On to the chook, skin was perfectly crispy and seasoned. The meat was tender and juicy. I have to say it was still slightly oily for my liking but that perhaps is the difference to me now and when I eight or nine.
