Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan assisted).

To make the Stuffing: In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, onion, Gregg’s Mixed Herbs, parsley and ¼ cup HEINZ [SERIOUSLY] GOOD™ Original Mayonnaise .

To prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry inside and out with paper towels. Fill the chicken cavity with the stuffing. Tie the legs together. Place in a roasting pan.

Mix together ¼ cup HEINZ [SERIOUSLY] GOOD™ Original Mayonnaise and Gregg’s Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Spread over the chicken.

Roast for approximately 1½ hours (30 minutes per 500g). To check if the chicken is cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. The juices will run clear when cooked.

Remove from the oven, cover lightly with foil and allow to rest for 5–10 minutes before carving. Serve with roast potatoes and your favourite green vegetables.

If using a whole frozen chicken, thaw completely on a tray in the refrigerator before stuffing and cooking.
