Chicken Roast Dinner

My family love this dinner, it is so nice to create something and then share it with your family and friends. Nearly every week I do a lovely Sunday dinner. I mainly use potatoes, mixed veg and gravy, and parsnips, to go with the dish and when I do beef I make roast puddings. Have fun! :)

This is a daddy sized portion!


Ingredients...


A whole chicken
Mixed veg
4-5 medium sized potatoes
Parsnips (optional - My mum doesn't like these!)
Bisto gravy granuels 

2  chicken oxo cubes
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method...

1. First turn the oven on to 200C and put some oil into a tray and calculate the time that the chicken will take to cook and add on the time it needs to rest (around 20 minutes) 
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and 1 crushed oxo cube sprinkled over the top ,put into the oven.
3. Fill a pot a quarter full with cold water, season with cooking salt, chop potatoes into quarters and put into pot, then put onto boil for 5 mins (part boiling) 
4. While those are cooking, peel and quarter the parsnips then put them in with the potatoes.
5. Once the oil has been heated put the potatoes and parsnips in to roast for around an hour until crispy (yum!)

While they are cooking...

  6. Put veggies onto to cook for 10 to 20 minutes

  7. Take chicken out of the oven  and leave to rest for 20 minutes 

8. Carve chicken and get everything else out and serve.

  It will taste delicious and great fun to cook!
