Hubby always does a chook on the Weber on a Sunday & we did it this way last night...the vegemite gives the skin a lovely flavour & gorgeous colour...really simple way to jazz up a roast chook..thanks Tis!

Obviously this is very simple (it only has 4 ingredients) but it's really quite good. It gave our chicken a more "meaty" flavour, beautiful colour and adding the pan juices to our regular gravy made them very deliscious. A vegemite hater wouldn't know what was in there, and I think this recipe would be great for a beginner cook not too adventurous with herbs, spices and seasonings.
