JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder. Place 3 tablespoons margarine in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken's exterior. Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity.
• Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from heat, and baste with melted margarine and drippings. Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving.

THE BEST ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
• Loosen skin on chicken breast; rub butter mixture between skin and breast meat. Press on the skin to distribute evenly. Rub oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper all over; place lemon halves inside cavity. Set in a baking pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.

FESTIVE ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Tear the bread into a large shallow casserole pan with the bacon, crumble in just a few chestnuts, add a little drizzle of olive oil, and place on a high heat. Toast for 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp, stirring regularly, then tip into a food processor and leave to cool. Meanwhile, carefully halve each squash lengthways, discarding the seeds. Peel and quarter the onions. Pick most of the sage into a pestle and mortar with a good pinch of sea salt. Pound into a paste, muddle in 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and red wine vinegar, then rub all over the chicken, inside and out. Scatter the onions and remaining chestnuts into the empty casserole pan and sit the chicken on top, tucking the chestnuts underneath it. Place in the oven with the squash halves, cut side up, on the shelf beneath. Roast for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
• Remove the pan from the oven, move the chicken to a large board and leave to rest. Pick the remaining sage leaves, rub with a little oil and lay over the squash halves, leaving them in the oven for another 30 minutes. Generously brush the chicken with honey. Blitz the bread mixture until fine, then evenly sprinkle over and pat on to the chicken. Boil the kettle. Tip the rest of the contents of the casserole pan into the processor, add 300ml of boiling kettle water and blitz until smooth. Pour back into the pan and simmer to the consistency of your liking, then season to perfection. Move the squash to the board. Add lashings of gravy, and dig in.
