YOU WILL NEED
750g Desiree or white potatoes, each cut into 4 rounds
500g baby carrots
500g parsnips, cut into quarters
2 leeks, sliced
Few sprigs rosemary
6tbsp olive oil
2kg whole chicken
200g Brussels sprouts
You will need: Large roasting tin
HOW TO DO IT
1 Heat the oven to 180C Fan/Gas 6. Put the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, leeks and rosemary all together in the roasting tin. Season, then toss with 4tbsp of the oil.
2 Push the vegetables to the edges of the tin, making space for the chicken in the centre. Make 2 deep cuts into each drumstick, then rub 2tbsp oil over the whole chicken and season.
3 Roast for 1 hr – turn the veg halfway through and baste the chicken. Add the sprouts and return to the oven for a further 15-30 mins, until the juices run clear when the chicken flesh is pierced.
4 Transfer the chicken to a warm plate and leave it to rest for 10-15 mins before serving. If the veggies look like they need to be crisped a little more, return them to the oven while the chicken is resting, otherwise transfer them to a serving dish and keep them warm.
