Roast Chicken With Root Vegetables

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken, 1.5kg in weight
  • 1 tbsp each; thyme, rosemary and sage, finely chopped
  • 1 small lemon
  • 2-3 carrots, scrubbed and cut into large chunks
  • 500g potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters
  • 200g chestnut mushrooms
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 30g butter
  • Salt and pepper
  • Rapeseed/olive oil
  • 0 : 10
    8-12

    Mix the butter, sugar, juice from half the lemon and chopped herbs together with a generous grind of salt and pepper. Rub this into the skin and cavity of the chicken. Set aside while you prepare your vegetables.

    Pre-heat the BBQ with the Roast Pan in place over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes.

    Add the carrots and potatoes to the pan then place the chicken on top. Add some water or stock to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with the lid. Turn the heat down to low-medium and roast for 30 minutes.

    Base the chicken with the juices regularly and add more liquid if needed.

    Add the mushrooms to the pan and carry on roasting for another 40-50 minutes, or until the liquid runs clear when inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. Serve immediately with some steamed green vegetables.
