    Had this for today's Sunday lunch. Used a 1.2kg organic chicken that needed to be used up after previous plans for it fell through. Used French crème fraîche from Waitrose which I feel has a fuller bodied flavour than the English version. Used 50/50 parsley & dill which worked well. As it was named pot roast chicken was surprised to see a roasting pan and tin foil called for. I used a 20cm cast iron pot with lid for the first 45 mins than took lid off for the last bit of cooking. Ended up with enough flavourful liquid for the sauce. Eaten with roasted vegetables and some cous cous. An enjoyable Sunday meal!

    A lot of garlic that i felt didn't mellow enough when cooking. Next time I would maybe cook it a bit first to take out some of the pungency and only use half. Very rich dish - serve with something a bit lighter on the side. Good, but not really a repeat for me.

    This is brilliant, succulent and infused with herbs. Not much sauce lasted to baste the bird though.
