Whole roasted chicken with herby potato salad
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.
