this roasted chicken is spoiled with the most fragrant italian herbs (oregano and fresh basil), colored by the fresh tomatoe juice "spicy" because of the hot pepperoncino and fresh because of the lemon juice. since it is so delicious we needed a more “precious” garnish: sweet potato and orange mousse. the taste of this kind of mashed potatoes, sweet with a tinge of citrus, accompanies perfect the aphrodisiac "conqueror" and spicy "italiano vero" chicken.
a mix of contrasts, which manages to highlight every detail of this original aromatic culinary couple.
