This is a great recipe for a Sunday roast chicken or the perfect Christmas stuffed roast chicken.


Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 1.5 kg medium chicken
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 sticks of celery
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 100g bread, broken into pieces
  • STUFFING
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 small onion, cut into quarters
  • 50g butter, softened
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place the chicken and vegetables in a roasting tin. Drizzle with the olive oil and season well with the salt and pepper. Place in the centre of the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for approx. 1 hour 20 mins.
  2. Halfway through cooking, spoon the juices over the chicken and add a couple of tablespoons of water to the roasting tin to stop the vegetables from burning. To check if the chicken is cooked pierce the thickest part of the leg - the juices should be running clear.
  3. To Make the Stuffing: Place the bread, parsley, thyme and onion in a food processor. Process until you have fine bread-crumbs and the onion is finely chopped. Season and add in the butter.
