Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and oil in a roasting tin and cook for 60 minutes.

  • Spread three-quarters of the sauce over the chicken and add onions and potatoes to the tin.
  • Season vegetables and roast for another 40-50 minutes until chicken juice runs clear.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate to rest under foil and keep vegetables warm in a separate dish.
