    This is delicious! Served with green beans with snail butter and boiled little potatoes.

    This resulted in a perfectly cooked bird with lovely crispy skin on top. The cream sauce was going to be painfully bland so I stirred in a heaping spoonful of a Persian chile-herb paste. I made extra knowing my family would want it on the roasted potatoes and cabbage too and I wasn’t wrong.

    Basically roast chicken without gravy. Nice change. Sauce was good. Would be good with simply cooked chicken portions

    So easy and oh so good. I was very liberal with the garlic sauce over chicken and some roasted potatoes

    Super easy Nigella winner. Really tasty with minimum work. I served with oven cooked potatoes (not really roast, more hash or home fries) and chard. Sauce went with all of it.

    Didn't do the chicken her way, just made the garlic cream sauce to have with barbecued chicken. Absolutely gorgeous - so rich but completely delicious.
