Sunday Roast Chicken
When the kids were younger, Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding was a regular at home. It’s one of those meals that feels like more effort than it really is. I will let you into a little secret, which is that I love basting my roast with butter.
You don’t need to wait for a Sunday for this.

Ingredients
Whole chicken
Paprika
Lemon
Salt
Garlic
Cloves
Vegetables of your choice (leeks, onions, carrots work well)
Method
Give the chicken a good rub with paprika, lemon, salt, garlic, and cloves. Let it sit for as long as you can.
Place it in a heavy-bottomed pan with your vegetables.
Preheat the oven and roast, basting the chicken from time to time so it stays moist. Turn it once so both sides brown evenly.
-
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving. It keeps it from drying out.
The vegetables cook in the same pan and take on all the flavour from the juices, so don’t skip them.
