- Garlicky Spatchcock Chicken with Summer…
Ingredients
- 1 free range whole chicken
- 80g salted butter, softened
- 30g parsley, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 240g couscous
- ½ cucumber, deseeded and chopped
- 1 fennel, thinly sliced
- 75g sugar snap peas, thinly sliced
- 100g pomegranate seeds
- 10g coriander
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Line a large roasting tin with greaseproof paper.
Step 2
Lay the chicken breast-side down. Snip along each side of the backbone with kitchen scissors. Cut out the backbone then flip over the chicken and flatten by pressing on the breastbone.
Step 3
Mix the butter, 20g of the parsley, garlic and some seasoning. Lift the skin on the breasts and legs of the bird and push the butter mix underneath evenly.
Step 4
Drizzle over 1 tbsp of the olive oil and sprinkle the garlic granules before roasting in the oven for 1 hr, or until cooked through.
Step 5
Put the couscous in a large mixing bowl and add hot water, following the packet instructions. Cover and leave for 10 mins.
Step 6
Use a fork to fluff up the couscous before adding the cucumber, fennel, sugar snaps, pomegranate seeds, coriander, remaining parsley and some seasoning.
Step 7
Whisk together the remaining olive oil, pomegranate molasses, lemon zest and juice. Stir through the couscous.
Step 8
When the chicken is cooked, allow to rest for 10 mins before carving. Serve with the couscous.
