Roast Chicken

Few dishes are as beloved as the classic roast chicken dinner. However, though it tastes simple and delicious, cooking the perfect roast chicken is a difficult skill to master. There are hundreds of variations on the roast chicken dinner, from different seasonings and stuffings, but we think it’s hard to go wrong with the classics.

We like it just the way we remember it from childhood – packed full of flavour, with crispy skin, and served with roast potatoes.
