Review #15944 - Dated: 17th of April, 2016 Author: melissaandchloe |
I first discovered the Continental Cook-in-Bag range a few months ago at the supermarket, there were so many different flavour varieties that it was a hard decision deciding which one to buy, however in the end I settled for the Roasted Garlic and Herb as I thought this would be a perfect flavour addition for the roast chicken I had planned for dinner. As much as I love roast chicken I always find that the ones I cook at home seem to be really lacking flavour wise, especially compared to the deliciously moist and flavoursome hot rotisserie chickens you can get in the supermarket, though these are a lot more costly than buying a frozen chicken I tend to buy them for the flavour factor, so I lived in hope that this Cook-in-bag may help solve my problems.
This recipe mix is super easy to use and comes with really clear instructions. You take the cooking bag and place your chicken inside it (you could use any cut of chicken I'm sure but in this case I used a whole chicken) and then you add the recipe base flavour sachet, seal up the bag and then toss the bag and shake it all about until your chicken is evenly coated. Pop the oven bag into a roasting dish and then place it straight into the oven to cook.
The smell as the chicken cooks is delectable with the lovely aroma of garlic and herbs as well as hat of juicy roast chicken. The idea of cooking the chicken in the bag is pure genius (and something I have never thought to do myself). Cooking in the bag means that the chicken is cooking and sitting in it's own juices which seemed to really help in keeping the chicken moist and flavoursome. The flavour from the recipe base was lovely and went so well with the roast chicken with a generous flavour of both garlic and herbs which could still be tasted under the chicken gravy which my chicken was served with. It reminded me a lot of the taste of a store brought rotisserie chicken yum yum yum.
This is something I would recommend if you like roast chicken, and something that I'll be buying again, I can't wait to try out more of the flavours and try to cook with different cuts of chicken. The other great thing about this product is that it makes cleaning up easy the mess is in the bag, instead of stuck to your roasting dish.
