FAST-ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND TARRAGON
Here is a revolution in the best way to roast a small chicken. The flavourings can vary in any way you like - crushed chopped rosemary leaves, sage leaves or thyme can be used, or a mixture of herbs, and you could replace the garlic with a couple of finely chopped shallots. It's a great recipe for adapting to whatever you have handy.

Steps:
- Begin by taking the chicken from the fridge about an hour before you intend to cook it (obviously if it's a hot day give it about 30 minutes only), and remove the string that holds the legs of the bird together so that the joints are loose - this will take the chill off the bird and help it to cook in the shorter time. Now make a garlic and herb butter by placing the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the chopped tarragon leaves and the butter in a bowl and combine them with a fork, adding some salt and pepper. Then place the herb butter inside the body cavity of the bird, along with the halved lemon slices. Smear a little of the olive oil over the base of the roasting tin, place the chicken in it, then smear the rest of the olive oil all over the skin of the bird. Lastly, season well with salt and black pepper and then pop the roasting tin into the lower third of the oven. Now let it roast for 45 minutes without opening the oven door. When this time is up, remove the bird from the oven. Next put a wooden spoon into the body cavity and, using a spatula to hold the breast end, tip the chicken and let all the buttery juices and slices of lemon pour out into the roasting tin, then transfer the bird on to a carving board, cover with foil and let it rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, using a tablespoon, skim off the excess fat from the juices in the roasting tin, then place the tin over direct heat, add the wine and lemon juice and let the whole lot bubble and reduce to about half its original volume. Now add the remaining tarragon, then taste and check the seasoning. Carve the chicken on to warm plates and add any juices to the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Finely grate the zest and squeeze the juice from the lemon, then set aside, keeping them separate from each other.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON BUTTER
Make Mary Berry's Roast Chicken with Tarragon Butter at home with her master step-by-step recipe from her latest cookbook, Cooks The Perfect.
Provided by Mary Berry
Categories Dinner, Main Course
Number Of Ingredients 1
Steps:
- 676 calories per serving 1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC (fan 180ºC/400ºF/Gas 6). Lightly grease a large roasting tin with butter. Make the tarragon butter: put the butter in a small bowl with the garlic and chopped tarragon and beat together with a small wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. 2. Sit the chicken, breast-side up, on a board and remove any string. Gently pull back the skin over the breasts and spread the tarragon butter under the skin over the flesh. Rub a little plain butter over the legs. Season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Insert the lemon halves and tarragon sprigs in the cavity. Scatter the onion wedges in the centre of the roasting tin and sit the bird, breast-side up, on top. (see below: Prepare the chicken for roasting.) Roast for 50 minutes 3. While the chicken is in the oven, put the potatoes in a large pan. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Add salt and simmer for 5 minutes, then drain well. Return the potatoes to the pan and gently shake it over a very low heat. (See below: Make crispy roast potatoes, step 1.) Set aside. 4. After 50 minutes' roasting, remove the tin, baste the chicken, and put the potatoes around the bird (see below: Baste the chicken, and Make crispy roast potatoes, step 2). Tuck the 3 bay leaves among the potatoes. Return the tin to the oven to roast for a further 50 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through. When the chicken is done, transfer it to a large, warmed serving platter and cover with foil (see below: Test for doneness). 5. Increase the oven temperature to 220ºC (fan 200ºC/425ºF/Gas 7). Transfer the potatoes to a small roasting tin and pour over all but 1 tablespoon of the top layer of fat from the large roasting tin, leaving all the juices and the onion behind in the large tin. Baste the potatoes with the fat, so they are coated all over, then return them to the oven to roast for about 10 minutes to get really crisp. (See below: Make crispy roast potatoes, step 3.) 6. Meanwhile, make the gravy: sit the large roasting tin on the hob. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk. Gradually blend in the stock with the whisk and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in the wine and redcurrant jelly. Stir until thickened. Season and strain into a jug or gravy boat. (See below: Make smooth, tasty gravy.) Remove the potatoes and sprinkle with salt. Garnish the chicken with bay leaves and serve with the potatoes and gravy. Keys to Perfection Prepare the chicken for roasting 1. Spreading tarragon butter under the skin makes the chicken moist and flavoursome. Starting at the open-cavity end, loosen the skin over the breasts. Do each breast separately, and use your fingers to carefully free the skin from the flesh, easing your way as far down the "pockets" as possible without tearing the skin. Spread the butter evenly over the flesh. Bring the skin back over to cover the butter. 2. Rub plain butter over the legs, season the outside of the chicken, and put the lemon halves and tarragon sprigs in the cavity. Place the chicken on a little pile of onion wedges in the middle of the roasting tin. This will prevent the bird from sitting directly on the tin, so helps it to roast better and not stick, and also gives extra flavour to the chicken and later to the gravy. Baste the chicken Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken all over with the buttery cooking juices to make it more succulent. If the breast skin is already golden brown at this point, cover the bird loosely with foil so that it doesn't burn later. After basting, add the par-boiled potatoes. Test for doneness Insert a small, sharp knife into the thickest part of the thigh; if the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked. If they are still pink, roast for a bit longer. Once done, let the bird rest for about 10 minutes, covered with foil to keep it warm, which will make the meat more succulent. Make crispy roast potatoes 1. Roast potatoes will be crisper and fluff up more easily if they're par-boiled before roasting. Once the water comes to the boil, time them to simmer for just 5 minutes, or they will overcook and lose their shape. They should still be firm in the middle. Immediately tip the potatoes into a colander to drain, then return them to the pan and gently shake over a very low heat for about 1 minute. This will dry them off and create rough edges that will later go crispy. 2. After the chicken has roasted for 50 minutes and been basted, add the potatoes to the tin. Make sure they're in a single layer, so they cook on all sides, and turn them in the juices for maximum flavour and so they can turn crispy. If you're covering the chicken with foil, don't cover the potatoes, as they won't brown properly. 3. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the potatoes to a smaller roasting tin using a slotted spoon, keeping them in a single layer so all sides can get crisp. Tip the large tin and pour off most of the top layer of fat (but not the juices) into the small tin. Baste with the fat. Increase the oven temperature so the high heat can finish off the crisping. If necessary, shake the tin after 5 minutes to stop sticking. Make smooth, tasty gravy Making the gravy in the tin with the chicken juices gives the best flavour. Whisk in the flour to prevent lumps, and cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw taste. Add the stock a little at a time, whisking constantly for a smooth consistency. Simmer, then add the wine and redcurrant jelly. Stir to thicken. After the redcurrant jelly has dissolved, taste for seasoning. You may not need salt if the stock is salty. Strain.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
- Mix the butter, tarragon, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Using your hands, carefully separate the chicken skin from the breast meat, taking care not to break the skin, and smear the butter mixture under the skin all over the chicken breast. Slice the zested lemon and carefully arrange the slices under the skin.
- Transfer the chicken to a large roasting tin and season well with salt and pepper - all over and inside the cavity.
- Roast the chicken for 20-25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 and roast for a further 1 hour and 20 minutes, basting frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp and golden. It is cooked when the juices run clear with no trace of pink when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the leg. Transfer the chicken to a board to rest, leaving the meat juices in the roasting tin.
- While the chicken is in the oven, make the stuffing. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the chestnuts, apricots and sage, and season with salt and pepper. Leave to cool.
- Once cool, transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the sausagemeat, fresh breadcrumbs and egg and mix well to combine. Divide the mixture into 16 and roll into small balls. Roll each stuffing ball in the fine breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Put the stuffing balls in a greased baking tray and bake at 200C/180C/Gas 6 for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, turning once halfway through cooking.
- While the chicken is resting, make the gravy: place the roasting tin over a low heat. Add the flour and whisk until combined with the roasting juices. Gradually pour in the wine, whisking constantly, and allow to bubble for a few minutes. Add the stock and cook for a further 6-8 minutes, whisking until thickened. Whisk in the gravy granules and redcurrant jelly and season to taste. Continue to simmer until the gravy is the consistency you like. Strain through a sieve into a serving jug.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the hot gravy and stuffing balls.
ROAST CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON BUTTER AND MELTING ONIONS
A roast chicken seems to me to be the ultimate comfort meal for all the family. And it's so versatile: serve as a classic Sunday dinner with roast potatoes, or with a selection of salads or side dishes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
- Mix the butter, garlic, ginger, tarragon and lemon zest in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Loosen the skin of the chicken breast by gently pushing your fingers between the skin and the meat, taking care not to break the skin. Using your hand, spread the butter under the skin in an even layer.
- Transfer the chicken to a roasting tin and scatter the onions around it. Rub a little oil over the skin and legs, and season.
- Roast for about 1½ hours, or until the chicken is cooked. The chicken is cooked through when the juices run clear with no trace of pink when the thickest part of the leg, between the drumstick and the thigh, is pierced with a skewer. Transfer to a board to rest. Remove the onions to a hot serving bowl.
- To make the gravy, sprinkle the flour over the fat in the roasting tin and whisk until combined. Pour in the wine and stock and whisk over a medium heat until thickened and smooth. Whisk in the redcurrant jelly, Worcestershire sauce and gravy browning, if using. Pour through a sieve into a jug, stir in the tarragon and season with salt and pepper.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the onions and gravy.

- TAKE THE CHICKEN out of the fridge at least two hours before cooking. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
- FINELY ZEST ONE LEMON and cut in half. Pick the parsley leaves from the stems (keep the stems for stuffing). Finely chop a third of the parsley leaves. Roughly chop the remaining parsley leaves and put aside for the salad.
- IN A BOWL, add the softened butter with the lemon zest, garlic, the finely chopped parsley and tarragon and seasoning. Mix until thoroughly combined and adjust seasoning to taste.
- USING YOUR HANDS, separate the skin from the breast and thigh meat, being careful not to tear the skin. Place butter mix between the meat and skin, covering the entire breast and thigh areas. Season inside the cavity, squeeze in the juice from the zested lemon, then stuff the cavity with the squeezed lemon halves and herb stems. Truss the chicken and rub with a little oil and seasoning. Place on a baking tray, sitting on one side.

- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Pick the leaves off the tarragon and chop them. Mix a generous tablespoonful of chopped leaves with most of the butter – leave about 15g for finishing the sauce.
- Put the tarragon butter, and the ½ lemon, inside the bird. Also spread a little butter over the roasting tin (just enough to stop the bird sticking as it starts to cook), and put the bird in.
- Cover with a lid if the tin has one, or with a piece of oiled or buttered foil. Roast for about 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4.

- I recently discovered a way to make the chicken taste even better, by putting a lemon in with my potatoes when I was parboiling them.
- Then when I was draining them I decided to stab the lemon, which hissed out juice and steam, and quickly jammed it inside the chicken! The benefits of the hot steaming lemon going into the chicken are very obvious as the meat tastes amazing, and the chicken cooks slightly quicker because of it.Rub the chicken inside and out with a generous amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
