Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute potatoes for Sebago potatoes.

    Certainly easy to put together and flavour was very good but technique didn't really work with a larger chicken. By the time it was cooked, the potatoes were far too soft for our liking. I used 1 kg potatoes and 500g carrots. I'd like to try it again with a smaller chicken or with chicken pieces.

    My husband prefers our usual roast chicken with melted butter under the skin and some butter and paprika on the outside. I may have overcooked the chicken though

    My chicken weighed 4.5 lbs and only sat at room temperature for 1.25 hrs. For those reasons (and because I had to run an errand), I roasted it covered for about 55 min rather than 30. I also increased the potatoes to 20 oz and carrots to 16 oz and would do so again as 3 people ate them all. The chicken turned out well, although the meat could have used more seasoning - most of that ended up in the delicious vegetables and drippings.

    This has become my go to roast chicken recipe. The chicken is always moist and flavoursome and my husband who is not a potato lover loves the soft potatoes. It’s such an easy method. Thoroughly recommend.

    Full marks for the method . This was an easy recipe to put together and really easy clean up. Delicious potatoes and carrots.
