A garlicky roasted half chook is the perfect match for a caramelised onion sauce that’s all the things: Savoury, salty and a touch sweet! Serve with some moreish sides and don’t forget a sprinkle of pine nuts for some extra buttery flavour and crunch.

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Pick rosemary (see ingredients).
• Season half chicken with a good pinch of salt
and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning,
rosemary leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Set
aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over
medium-high heat. Sear half chicken, skin-side
down first, until browned, 4-5 minutes each side.
• Transfer seared chicken to a lined oven tray. Brush
with garlic-herb mixture. Roast until cooked
through, 25-30 minutes. Set aside to rest for
5-10 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer
pink inside.

• When the chicken has 20 minutes remaining, bring
a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil.
• Peel potato and cut into large chunks.
• Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced
with a fork, 12-15 minutes.
• Drain potato, then return to pan. Add the milk,
Parmesan cheese and half the butter. Season
generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to
keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato
unpeeled.

• While the potato is cooking, thinly slice fennel and
brown onion.
• Roughly chop semi-dried tomatoes.
• Finely chop garlic.

• Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a
drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring regularly,
until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook
until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add the balsamic
vinegar, brown sugar, stock concentrate and the
water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky,
3-5 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then stir through the
remaining butter. Transfer to a second small bowl.

• In a medium bowl, combine spinach & rocket mix,
semi-dried tomatoes and fennel.
• Just before serving, add balsamic vinaigrette
dressing. Toss to coat.

• Carve chicken in half.
• Divide Sicilian-style roast chicken, Parmesan mash
and fennel salad between plates.
• Top chicken with onion sauce and pine nuts to
serve. Enjoy!
