Roast Chicken with Carrots & Potatoes 烤鸡

Ingredients
1 kampung chicken (abt 1 to 1.2kg) 
2 carrots 
500g to 600g baby potatoes
1 to 2 corns
300g broccoli 
1 tbsp Nomu Poultry rub
1 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
A few garlic cloves

Method:
1. Clean and wash the chicken.
2. Apply the light soya sauce & 1 tbsp olive oil on the chicken, followed by Nomu Poultry rub. (Or your preferred rub.)
3. Leave the marinated chicken for at least an hour (in the fridge). I usually marinate at least 4 to 6 hours.
4. Preheat the oven at 200C.
5. Clean and chop the carrots, potatoes, corn, and broccoli.
6. Mix the garlic, carrots and potatoes with butter, a dash of salt & a tbsp of oil, and place them on a baking tray.
7. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
8. Roast the chicken at 200 degrees for 50 to 60 mins. (Rotate the tray after 30 mins.)
9. Steam the corn for 10 mins, and steam the broccoli for 6 mins. Add them to the baking tray when roasting of the chicken is done.

This is easy to prepare, easy to cook, easy to eat, and easy to clean up! haha

Note
1) If you do not have the poultry rub, you can mix some herbs like thyme, sage, oreganum, lemon, pepper, and paprika. 
2) I rubbed light soya sauce on the chicken because I liked its appearance to look a bit brown.
