Chicken Roast with Veg – Not a roast chicken in the traditional sense, but we love roasting a spatchcock chicken as it ensures the skin is crispy and golden all over. Sitting on a bed of herbs, garlic and sliced lemon, it’s cooked along with your favourite summer veggies for a roast dinner all done in the oven with little fuss. We’ve roasted bell peppers, shallots and green beans, but you could also cook asparagus, broccoli, green onion, etc. Ask your butcher to butterfly your chicken, or watch our video here to easily do it yourself.
