Partner crisp mixed beans with juicy, tender kingfish.

Paul West says "Roasting a big free-range cook adds to the sense of occasion when entertaining." Butterflying your chicken also increases the surface exposed to direct heat, making sure every member of the family gets a piece of crispy, delicious chicken on their plate!

“All the work here is done in advance – you can marinate it for up to 2 days – then it’s just into the oven when you’re ready. It can also be cooked straight away. If you do this, just season the chicken with the salt and pepper (which would otherwise go in the marinade), rub it thoroughly into the skin before combining it with the rest of the ingredients (no more salt required) and bake. I like to use chicken legs but chicken supremes, on the bone, also work well” - Yotam Ottolenghi.
