How To Roast Whole Chicken By Lizzy Obaze.  very low fat and NO carbohydrate change of lifestyle.

Seasoning: curry powder, knorr cube, salt, garlic, dry herbs and jerk chicken seasoning.
I mixed the seasoning in a bowl with a few spoonfuls of water to dissolve then set aside.

I chopped up 1 onion into rings and 2 peppers then set aside.

I washed my whole chicken, poked it all over with a knife then seasoned it. I stuff the chicken with the chopped onion and pepper then  I placed the chicken in a covered dish then left in fridge overnight to ensure it is properly marinated.

The following

afternoon I cover an oven tray with foil paper,

place the chicken in the centre of the tray cover the chicken with foil to ensure the heat cooks it inside thoroughly .

I place the tray in the oven on gas mark 8 for 45 mins.

After 45 mins I took the oven tray out, took off the foil covering the chicken then turned the chicken over.

I reduced the temperature to 5 then placed back in the oven for 20 mins.

After 20 mins I turned the chicken over again for another 20 mins.

After 1 hr 20 mins all together I deep a knife in the centre of the chicken to ensure it has thoroughly cooked.

Chicken is ready and you can serve however you wish. I had mine with some salad. Salad and dressing to follow next. Enjoy

  26. Hello Cj, congrats on your new jeep. Having a help that lives in or or leaves at the end of the day depends on what you require a help for and if you can cope alone from when she leaves till you all retire to bed.
    Do u need a help to help kids with dinner and settle them for bed? Do you need a help to attend to d kids in d middle of thenight such as waking kids to use d toilet to avoid bed wetting? Do u need a help to wake kids very early in d morning, bath, dress and give them breakfast? If you need a help for the above things then you need a live in help. Ifyou can manage on your own after the help has gone for d day then you don't need a live in help.
    Only you can decide what will work for your household so decide and make a wise choice.

  29. Wow congrats CJ on ur new car, in kaduna most women have helps that come and go. It works well but the only problem I see is that these women steal food stuff in little quantity. But some may not do so. Just try them for a month and see how it goes

  36. Congratz Cj! the ones that come and go are OK, when they leave, you manage your kids and leave all their work for when they come the following day. The talking and provocation is less when they come and go and there is no much risk involved like that of keeping a stranger permanently with you. Resuming work in the morning and closing in the evening makes them work harder cos they don't want to close late.

    Live-in helps are good when you still have babies who need to be attened to at night and maybe very early in the morning. Aside from that I think the ones who come to work and close at end of day are a better option.
    @Deborah, for the food stuff touching sha, if it's in small quantities then no wahala, after all it's just raw rice, beans and maybe garri. Even when they don't take, we still give to them at the end of the month. If anyone does that, just let them know you are aware and for that reason won't give them anything extra while paying their salaries. I know they can't even take upto a mudu of rice cos they won't want anyone to notice. That is hunger stealing and it can be stopped.

    May I also add that pleaeaeaeaease, those who work for us shouldn't go to bed on an empty stomach. While paying them at the end of the month, it's good to add a little food stuff or toiletries or both or even beverages. These little things go a long way.

    Not after dusting all our Bags of rice, beans, garri, semo and all, they go back home and start looking for where to get one cup garri to soak for their children. Not like we can solve all their problems or that we should take over their family responsibilities, no. Just a few mudus of riceor indomie at the end of the month may just save lives and make them happy employees.

  38. Thanks Debs. I am looking at you and Lizzy with my corner eye. Isn't it too early to eliminate carbohydrates???????????????????????????
    The boys still need it for energy o. After weaning them, you can eliminate and go to size zero if you like and we won't eye you at all.

    Monday: 1 boiled egg and bacon, grilled or steamed chicken and salad, beans and corn

    Tuesday: natural yogurt and a banana, meat peppersoup (don't use cowleg and ponmo as they are very fatty), edikaikong soup (preferably with chicken or fish, a table spoon of palmoil, NO SWALLOW plz, u can add extra vegetables of your choice so u have something to chew n crunch on n fill u up after washing it down with lots of water. I usually add mushroom, cougettes or coloured sweet peppers to my soups)

  44. Our Nigerian meals arefull of carbohydrate and starch and too much of these things are bad for our health.
    I know we were brought up eating rice and swallow but we can make the choice as adults to eat little or no carbs or swallow.

    Healthy eating tips:
    * stay away from all fizzy drinks, juices (contains lots of sugar but if you can make yours with100% juice thats fine)

    *drink 2-3litres of water a day. It helps to flush out the system and u'll see quick results in weighloss if you are on a strict diet

    * try to eat dinner b4 7pm or not after 7pm
    * avoid yam, bread, cereals(apart from brown cereals made with wheat) all swallows,rice, potatoes, pasta, use olive oil to cook in moderation, if you must use palm oil a tiny quantity is enough
    * avoid SUGAR, use sweetner instead or little honey
    * drink herbal tea especially green tea as it helps to speed up metabolism therefore quick weight loss on a strict diet
    * if you feel hungry inbetween meals, snack on carrots, cucumber or fruits. Be mindful not to eat too many fruits, although they are meant to b healthy but some have a lot of sugar which is equally not good for us
    * if you like spicy food please feel free to spice up ur food as this will encourage u to drink water and you'll get full up quick
    * when having salad plz use very little dressing especially salad cream n mayo. When we add too much saladcream or mayo 2 salad it removes 'the healthy eating' as theyare high in calories
    *do not add pasta to salads, pasta is a heavy n starchy carb. Feel free to add baked beans (rinse out tomatoe sauce 1st), kidney beans, peas to salads as they good protein and will fill u up
    *you can add lots of salad to your food,just b mindful of mayo n cream. Olive oil based dressing is healthier
    * try to go for 30-45mins brisk walk 4-5times a week (especially if you drive and don't do any form of exercise)

    This is all I can remember for now.
