2023 is just around the corner. The city becomes more gorgeous and many people are excited by the sparkling illuminations.

Some of you may already be thinking about preparing for Christmas. When you think of Christmas dinner, you think of roast chicken.
There are many commercially available products, but have you ever wanted to try making your own?

``It may seem difficult, but once you know the key points, it's surprisingly easy,'' says chef Rinko Shizuno. He taught me a recipe that even beginners can use without fail. “It goes well with Lypo-C C+D, so please give it a try.” (Mr. Shizuno)

Meat protein is also compatible with vitamin D.

Before eating roast chicken, we recommend that you take Lypo-C C+D. In addition to the conventional Lypo-C Vitamin C, this is a liposomal supplement that also contains vitamin D.

When we hear of vitamin D, it is especially known for supporting the function of calcium, but it has become clear that it has various other roles as well.
One of these is nutritional support.
Exercise and nutrition are the keys to increasing muscle efficiently. Protein is a particularly important nutrient. Another essential ingredient is vitamin D.

Vitamin D is found in large amounts in seafood, eggs, and mushrooms. It is also produced in the body when exposed to sunlight. However, many people today are deficient in vitamin D. In addition, the shortage tends to be even more severe in winter because there are fewer hours of sunlight.

It is said that women especially lose muscle mass. Let's charge up your energy with the combination of "Lypo-C C+D" and roast chicken.

The skin is crispy and the meat is juicy! Enjoy freshly baked

In fact, turkey is the most commonly eaten Christmas food overseas. It seems that chicken has become a Christmas staple because it is hard to find in Japan.

``If you prepare roast chicken properly, all you have to do is put it in the oven.This time, I'm going to make roasted potatoes and apples, which go well with chicken, and serve them as garnishes.'' (Mr. Shizuno)


[Materials] (For 2 people)

Bone-in thigh meat (approx. 200g)　 Two  
1 potato
1/2 apple
1 clove of garlic
Salt (0.9-1% of chicken weight) 3.6-4g
Rosemary in moderation
2 tablespoons oil


[How to make]

1. Remove excess fat from under the skin of the chicken. An incision is made along the bone and then into the cartilage of the joint.

"If you save the white fat, it will eliminate the characteristic chicken odor. If you are concerned about the streaks, please remove them." (Mr. Shizuno)

"If you make a cut, it will definitely be easier to eat," says Shizuno.

2. Rub salt onto the chicken and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
"1% salt gives a strong flavor. Adjust the amount according to your preference. If you leave it for about 30 minutes, the moisture will come out from the chicken and the meat will become firm." (Mr. Shizuno)

3. Prick the chicken skin in several places with a knife to prevent it from shrinking when grilling.
``This will help the salt soak in better.'' (Mr. Shizuno)
Wipe the chicken dry, rub in the crushed garlic, drizzle with oil, top with rosemary, and let it soak for a while. Preheat the oven to 190℃.

4. Cut the potatoes into 1.5cm cubes and the apples into 2cm cubes.

5. Line an oven plate with parchment paper and place the chicken, skin side up. Sprinkle the remaining oil on the chicken butts, place on the margin of the plate, and top with rosemary.

6. Roast in the oven at 190℃ for 15 minutes, then increase the temperature to 250℃ for another 15 minutes, for a total of 30 minutes.
``The key point is to pour the oil over the skin every 10 minutes while grilling.The skin will become crispy.'' (Mr. Shizuno)

"The skin of roast chicken is crispiest when it's freshly grilled. So, please enjoy it as soon as it's grilled. It's the perfect balance with the juicy meat." (Mr. Shizuno)

summary

I think many people are getting busier as the end of the year approaches. This year's Christmas dinner is roast chicken and "Lypo-C C+D" power dinner, which is a good source of protein. Please spend a wonderful time while healing the fatigue of December.
