Graham Campbell's summery roast chicken recipe produces the perfect warm weather Sunday lunch. Instead of serving with heavier components like Yorkshire pudding and gravy, Graham serves the chicken with a herby potato salad. Ideally, cook in an oven with a moisture plus setting to ensure a crisp skin and beautifully moist meat.

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C, setting the steam bursts to take place every 30 minutes

Grind the rosemary, lemon thyme, salt and garlic into a paste using a pestle and mortar, then mix in the olive oil. Rub the paste all over the chicken

2 garlic cloves
rosemary, 4 sprigs
lemon thyme, 4 sprigs
10g of salt
30g of olive oil
1 chicken

Chop the carrots and shallot and arrange across the bottom of a roasting tray to act as a trivet for the chicken to rest on. Place in the oven for 1 hour 40 minutes. Once cooked, leave the chicken to rest for 10 minutes

2 carrots
1 shallot

Place the potatoes in a pan, cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer until cooked. While still warm, cut the potatoes in half and set aside in a bowl to keep warm

200g of new potatoes

Blanch the cabbage in hot salted water for 2-3 minutes, strain and add to the new potatoes

200g of savoy cabbage, shredded

Roughly chop all of the herbs then add to a blender with the Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and salt. Blend on a low setting. While blending, slowly pour in the olive oil to emulsify

10g of parsley
5g of chives
2g of oregano
1 tsp Dijon mustard
20g of white wine vinegar
100g of olive oil
5g of salt, plus extra for cooking the vegetables
