Summer roast chicken

dish Greek Roast Chicken with Feta and Oregano recipe from issue 100.

If you want the juiciest chicken with crispy skin and the most incredible flavor, then you have to make this lemon herb spatchcock chicken!

Substitute the apricots for another dried fruit, if you fancy – if it’s firm, just make sure you rehydrate it in boiling water first. Prepare the chicken in advance up to the point when it’s ready to go in the oven, then chill until you’re ready to cook (if you do this, take it out of the fridge an hour beforehand)

Making your own pesto is one of the easiest – and useful – things that you can make in the kitchen. Try our basil, mint and pistachio version, then use it in this incredible roast chicken dish to really turn your Sunday lunch up a notch. Wondering what else to pair with home-made pesto? Go for this grilled mackerel, grapefruit and pesto freaked salad.

This Roast Chicken Piccata recipe is so delicious and unbelievably easy to make! Roast Chicken Piccata is a show-stopping dish that's perfect for entertaining or a cozy weeknight dinner. Crispy-skinned whole roasted chicken seasoned to perfection and smothered in lemon-caper (piccata) pan sauce.

The crispy chicken is topped off with Italian salsa verde. This green sauce, similar to chimichurri, is filled with chopped herbs, umami packed flavors of anchovy, briney capers and zesty lemon to brighten the sauce.

Bright with seasonal veg and spiked with sunny North-African flavours, this roast chicken is perfect for spring

You can’t go wrong with roast chicken, but when it incorporates the glorious colours and flavours of chorizo and fresh peppers, it raises the bar. Why keep it just for Sundays? This recipe is by MasterChef 2017 contestant Richard Rodriguez who writes the food blog, Family Home Cook.
