Ingredients
olive oil
1 x 1.5kg whole free-range chicken
4 onions
4 carrots
2 cloves of garlic
½ a bunch of fresh rosemary
1 heaped tablespoon plain flour
300ml white wine
200ml organic chicken stock
600g potatoes
2 handfuls of red and green grapes
a few sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley
Method
Juicy chicken, cooked in wine with pops of sweetness from the roasted grapes – delicious!
- Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5.
- Joint the chicken into 8 pieces. Heat a lug of oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Season the chicken, add it to the pan in batches, and fry until golden all over. Set aside on a plate.
- Peel and cut the onions into wedges, chop the carrots, then peel and finely chop the garlic.
- Add the veg to the pan and gently sauté for about 15 minutes over a medium-low heat, or until soft and sticky but not coloured.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Pick, finely chop and add the rosemary, then stir in the flour. Turn up the heat to medium-high and leave to colour for a few minutes.
- Pour in the wine and bring to the boil, then lower the heat and let it reduce by half.
- Roughly chop and add the potatoes, pour in the stock, and bring it back to the boil.
- Transfer everything to a roasting tin and cook in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is falling off the bone.
- Place the grapes in a small roasting dish, drizzle with a little oil and cook these in the oven for the last 20 minutes, or until caramelised.
- Stir the grapes into the chicken, finely chop and scatter over the parsley leaves, and serve.
