Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.6 – 1.8 kg whole chicken
  • 4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 large red onion, quartered
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into large chunks
  • 3 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 sticks celery, cut into 3 cm pieces
  • 225 g pack of quality chorizo rings cut into pieces
  • 2 medium bell pepper, cut into pieces
  • 10 g fresh parsley roughly chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub all over with olive oil or butter,
  3. Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
  4. Place the onion, carrots, potatoes, celery, bay leaves, chorizo, red pepper and garlic in the bottom of a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven.
  5. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and pour the chicken stock around the chicken (not over the skin).
  6. Cover with a lid and roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  7. Remove the lid and continue roasting for 20 minutes, or until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
    To ensure the chicken is cooked, the juices should run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
  8. Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. While resting, add the parsley to the dish, stir until the leaves are wilted, then spoon into shallow bowl, carve and serve with the vegetables.

Notes

Optional Tips / Variations:
  • Add parsnips for extra depth of flavour
  • Swap dried herbs for fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs
  • For crispier skin, broil uncovered for 3–5 minutes at the end
  • Stir in mushrooms during the last 30 minutes of cooking

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

Method

  7. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Return meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until cooked through and tender.
  9. Serve meatballs and sauce over cooked spaghetti. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes
