Juicy on the inside, a whole organic chicken cooked in tasty pan juices is always a winner. Don’t forget to save any bones for a good-quality stock to use at another time.

CHICKEN WITH TOMATO AND JALAPENOS RECIPE

Serves 4
1 Tbsp oil

1 organic chicken, jointed

2 Tbsp olive oil

¼ cup white wine

2 tsp sugar

1 cup cherry tomatoes

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Crispy potatoes, to serve
  1. Preheat an oven to 170C.
