Why save this Crispy Roast Chicken for Sunday dinner? Eat one portion and put the rest in containers to feast on throughout the week and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 kg pack of chicken drumsticks (£1.49)
  • 2 tins of new potatoes (£0.58x2)=(£1.16)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (£0.69/3)=(£0.23)
  • 1 pack of frozen broccoli and cauliflower (£0.85)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 400 ml veggie stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Salt & Pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C

  • Place drumsticks and new potatoes into a baking tray. Crush garlic cloves with the skins on and distribute across the tray.
  • Once the kettle is boiled, mix your veg stock cube into the water and pour the stock until the depth is around 1 inch from the bottom of the baking tray. (Potatoes shouldn’t be swimming, this will prevent crispness 😰)
  • Use a tsp of olive oil to glaze over the chicken and season with a tsp of oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pop it the oven for 1 hour.
  • While this is cooking, in a separate baking tray place the broccoli and cauliflower. After the chicken has been cooking for 35 minutes, pop the veg in the oven as well for the remaining 25 minutes.
