Here is a tasty and comforting way to pot roast a chicken. Minimum fuss, yet maximum flavour. Isn’t that what we all want? On this occasion I used bacon lardons, but pancetta, chorizo or even Nduja sausage would all work beautifully.
Serve with baked or mashed potatoes, or for the ultimate one pot dish, add a can of drained beans for the last 20 minutes.
