Preparation

  1. Recommended CADAC cooking surface: Roast pan
  2. Wash and dry the chicken.
  3. Mix half of the salt and pepper and all of the sugar, lemon juice and chopped herbs together. Rub this mixture into the skin and cavity of the chicken. Set aside for as long as possible.
  4. Toss the pumpkin with some of the remaining salt and cinnamon. Season the potatoes with the balance of the salt and pepper.
  5. Heat up the Roast Pan and place the chicken breast-side down in the centre of the dish. Add the potatoes on the edge around the chicken and some water or stock to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with the lid. Turn the heat down to medium and roast for 20 minutes.
  6. Turn the chicken breast-side up and place the pumpkin pieces among the potatoes. Carry on roasting for another 40 minutes, or until the liquid runs clear when inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the breast. Turn the vegetables from time to time to prevent the pumpkin from burning and top up the water or stock as needed.
  7. If you wish you can lift the chicken and vegetables out of the Roast Pan to make a gravy. Scrape the pan a little to lift all the meats’ juices from the pan and add a thickening agent.
  8. Reduce until liquid has halved. Strain and serve with the chicken. NB: Other vegetables such as zucchini and carrots can be added in towards the end.
  9. Serves 4-6.
