The slow roast chicken is an old favourite - it is a Sunday evening supper for us at home. We served it in the pub for many years and started adding potatoes about 10 years ago. It will sit in the oven and wait for you to be ready and is even more delicious when it is a day old.

Ingredients

1 Free range chicken, approx. 1 kilo.
1 Splash of rapeseed oil
1 Glass dry white wine
2 Lemons
400 g Small new potatoes, scrubbed
6 Garlic cloves (bruised)
4 Sprigs of thyme
1 Small bunch parsley
1 Pinch of salt & cracked pepper to taste.
