10 ingredients
- 1 chicken
- 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 sprig rosemary if you have it
- 2 oz butter
- 2 lb very salad potato
- 12 oz chantenay carrot
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cups chicken stock
- 1 tbsp low-salt soy sauce
Instructions
- KIDS: The writing in bold is for you. ADULTS: The rest is for you.
- Cut the string off the chicken.
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas
- Get your child to use a pair of scissors to cut the elastic or string holding the chicken together.
- Stuff the chicken. Stuff the lemon halves in the cavity of the chicken with the garlic and herb sprig (if using).
- Time to get your hands mucky. Sit the chicken in a large roasting tin and use your hands to smear the butter all over it.
- Easy-peasy vegetables. Tip the carrots and potatoes into a large bowl, drizzle over the oil and toss everything together with your hands.
- Scatter the vegetables around the chicken. Scatter the vegetables in an even layer around the chicken, then season everything.
- Put the chicken in the oven and roast for 30 mins.
- Remove from the oven and give the vegetables a stir, reduce the heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then return to the oven for 50 mins more.
- Test if the chicken is cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Using a cloth, pull the leg if it easily comes away from the body, there is no sign of pink and the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, it should read above 70C. Take the chicken out of the tin.
- Make a lemony sauce. Scoop the vegetables into a serving dish. Using a spoon or a pair of tongs, remove the garlic, lemon and herbs from the chicken and put them in the roasting tin. Squash them down well with a potato masher to release all the juice from the lemons.
- Strain the sauce.
- Pour in the chicken stock and soy sauce and give it all a good stir. Get the child to hold a sieve over a jug while you lift up the pan and strain the juices into the jug. If you want it piping hot, reheat in a pan or in the microwave.
