A roast chicken dinner is about as homey as good cooking gets.

At our house roasted potatoes are a must with a good roast chicken! Not making roast potatoes would be a cardinal sin, in my son’s eyes especially.

You can find our very popular version of English style roast potatoes here.

English Style Roasted Potatoes. Crispy outside, fluffy and steaming inside.

We often roast off other root vegetables like carrots and Spouse’s favourite parsnip to serve as well but the star of the show is always a perfectly roasted chicken. 

Frozen chicken can be used in a pinch but I find fresh chicken is much juicer when roasted.

I like to brine my poultry before roasting but it’s not essential if you are pressed for time. You can read more about my brining technique here. 

This one was particularly good with a sweet and smoky glaze to make for a perfect Sunday roast dinner
