Moist roast chicken made easy

After my successful roast lamb, I moved on to roast chicken. Here is my not very precise recipe (.. cooking is an art not a science; it doesn't need to be exact..!!).

1. Put ginger, garlic and spring onions inside the chicken. This is to remove the chicken smell.
   
2. Season the chicken with plenty of salt, black pepper and oil. Put some five spice powder if you have any.
3. Cut up carrots and potatoes in big chucks. This way everything can be cooked at the same time.
4. Put some water (about half a cm deep) in the roast dish, then place the chicken and vegetables in it.
5. Cover the roast dish with foil and bake in the oven for 40 mins at about 200C, then bake for another 10 mins without the foil, so the skin dries up.
6. Cut up the chicken and enjoy!

It is a "leave and forget it" kind of dish, so easy to make, you can even make it during the week.
