ROASTED CHICKEN PROVENCAL

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry, insert the rosemary into its cavity and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a couple turns of pepper. Push the vegetables to the sides of the roasting pan and put the chicken breast-side up in the center.
• Roast for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken so that it is breast-side down and continue to roast until golden brown all over, about 15 minutes. Flip the chicken back to breast-side up and continue to roast until the vegetables are saucy and tender and the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should register 165 degrees F), about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes, then cut the chicken into pieces and serve with the vegetables.

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large casserole dish or flameproof roasting tin. Scrape the marinade off the chicken pieces back into the bowl and fry the chicken in batches for about 15 mins until the skin is golden and crisp - watch out, the oil has a tendency to sputter. Remove the chicken from the dish and pour off the oil. Place the dish back on the heat, add the tomato purée and cook for 2 mins, then add the herbs, fennel seeds, remaining marinade and chicken stock. Bring up to the boil, add the grilled tomatoes, then simmer gently for 20 mins.
