Number Of Ingredients 7

1 organic, free-range chicken , about 1.8kg
½ onion
4 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
2 thyme sprigs
small bunch tarragon
40g unsalted butter

  • Roast for 1 hr 20 mins , until the leg is wobbly when pulled from the body and the juices run clear, basting every 20 mins or so with the juices. Remove from the oven and allow to rest while you make the sides. Leave the fat and juices in the roasting tin for the potatoes.
