Prep time:
Cooking time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total time:
Serves: 6
2 whole chickens (approx 1.5kg each) or you could use a mixture of thighs and legs
2 oranges sliced
300g mange tout (or peas)
15g fresh basil leaves
750g new potatoes, large ones halved
For the orange dressing:
3tbsp olive oil
juice and zest of one orange
1 chilli chopped
3tsp honey
3tbsp soy sauce
3 garlic cloves crushed
Who doesn’t love roast chicken? This one tray makes for a livelier Sunday roast. It takes 5 mins to prep and then the whole dish (minus the mange tout and basil) gets put in the oven for 90 minutes.
Stir in the mange tout (or peas if you prefer) at the end. The hot juices from the chicken will cook them through. You can find more great recipes at Anna’s Family Kitchen.
