One Pan Roast Chicken

March 27

This is a favourite in my home! It’s so easy with lots of fresh ingredients and you only need to clean one pan after it’s done! The last squeeze of lemon juice at the end makes all the difference, so don’t miss that step.

  • time 35mins

Method

  1. 1. Place a large high sided frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter and oil.
  2. 2. Season the chicken thighs generously and place skin side down in the pan with the baby potatoes & thyme sprigs. Allow the chicken thighs and potatoes to cook out without moving for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken skin goes a deep golden brown colour and the skin turns crisp.
  3. 3. Flip the chicken and potatoes, add the carrots, lemon slices and garlic cloves and fry for 2-3 minutes shuffling in the pan until the garlic is just tender.
  4. 4. Add the chicken stock and bring to a steady simmer. Add the kale leaves and cover with a lid. Continue to cook for 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked all the way through, the potatoes and carrots are tender and liquid has reduced slightly.
  5. 5. Serve straight to the table with a good squeeze of lemon juice and a generous sprinkle of flat leaf parsley.

Brick chicken with Corn Salsa

August 01

It’s not often I get to write about bricks in a recipe so I will enjoy it while I can. Crispy chicken skin, tender and a juicy interior, it’s all there for the taking, but it does involve two concrete bricks. Beyond the chicken, the recipe I’ve included here for a spicy corn salsa is an ideal accompaniment to any grilled meats this summer.

Chicken Katsu Curry

October 25

In recent years, Ireland has become known as a serious food destination but as a nation who also knows how to have a good time we still have a few dirty food secrets. Take, for example, the 3-in-1 – an infamous concoction of curry sauce, chips and fried rice – a favourite of late-night Dublin. While I’m not comparing this katsu curry to the 3-in-1, it does have similar qualities: spicy curry sauce and crispy chicken all served with sticky rice. Let’s just say it hits the spot, late night or not.
