Sundays are all about roast dinners in our house — whether it’s chicken, pork, beef or lamb — and while the vegetables might change depending on the meat, there will always be Yorkshire puddings. A roast chicken dinner, in particular, is timeless comfort food: crisp, golden skin, juicy meat, and all the trimmings that bring everyone to the table.

There’s something wonderfully grounding about it too — the aroma filling the kitchen, the crackle of the skin, the promise of a plate piled high with comforting sides. And the best part is, a roast chicken doesn’t need to be complicated to feel special; simple seasoning and good ingredients do all the work.

What goes really well served alongside roast chicken?

Served with some crispy roast potatoes and whatever vegetable you like on your roasts. Whenever I have roast chicken, I always make a cauliflower cheese to go along side it, then I have this the next day!
