Background

This no-fuss Spanish style roast chicken is a fantastic laid-back family meal for Sunday Lunch or mid-week roast dinner. The extra only thing you'll need to make is some boiled or mashed potatoes, or boiled rice. If you can't be bothered to do that, just serve it with crusty bread and/or some green salad.

Ingredients

1 medium Chicken
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
2 red onions
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
2 cloves of garlic
2 bay leaves
1 lemon
6 medium tomatoes on the vine
100 ml sherry (or dry white wine)
100 ml chicken stock
1 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp flaked almonds, toasted and chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Deseed & slice the red & yellow peppers. Peel & quarter the onions. Finely slice the garlic. Scatter these in a large roasting tin. Add half the oil, toss well.
Mix together the paprika, salt and remaining olive oil. Massage it all over the chicken.
Put half the lemon into the cavity together with one bay leaf.
Place the chicken on top of the vegetables, then put the tin in the oven for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, quarter the tomatoes.
Take the roasting tin out of the oven. Add the tomatoes and toss with the roasted veggies. Pour over the sherry & stock. Season with ground pepper. Turn over the chicken (so it's bottom up).
Turn down the oven temperature to 170°C. Cover the tin with foil and continue to roast for about 40 minutes.
Take off the foil, turn the chicken over once again. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is brown and the meat juices run clear.
Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Just before serving, scatter the parsley and almond on top and squeeze some lemon juice over it.
