Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Add the chicken legs (1 pack) to a large baking tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Rub the mixed herbs (1 tsp) and a generous pinch of salt all over, then pop into the oven for 35 minutes, until cooked through.
step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the prepped potatoes (1 kg) and cook for 5-10 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and leave to steam-dry in a colander.
step 3
Pop a large oven dish into the oven with 2 tbsp of olive oil to heat up. Meanwhile, return the potatoes to the saucepan and toss with the flour (1 tbsp) until fully coated. Add the potatoes to the preheated oven dish, carefully coating in the hot oil. Add the garlic (4 cloves) to the tray and pop into the oven for 35 minutes, until cooked through.
step 4
Once the chicken legs are cooked through, remove from the oven and leave to rest, covered with aluminium foil, until you’re ready to serve.
step 5
Add the carrots (500 g) and parsnips (500 g) to a large ovenproof dish and toss with 1 tbsp of olive oil and the honey (1 tbsp). Season with a generous pinch of salt. Place into the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden and tender.
step 6
Add a splash of boiling water to the chicken tray and gently scrape up all the sticky bits – this is flavour! Add the chicken stock pot (1) to a jug and top up with 300ml of boiling water.
step 7
Pour the juices from the chicken tray into a small saucepan over medium heat and add the flour (1 tbsp). Whisk together until you have a paste to cook out the flour for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the chicken stock until you have a thick gravy. Add a splash more water and adjust the flavour to your liking with salt and pepper.
step 8
Just before serving, place the Yorkshire puddings (1 pack) into the oven and cook according to the pack instructions. Cook the peas (320 g) in a pan of salted boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain.
step 9
Cut the chicken legs into thighs and drumsticks. Dish up the carrots, parsnips, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and roast chicken. Pour over the gravy and dig in.
