Savoury recipe - 2-cook roast chicken
Share
Here's a perfect dish for Sunday lunch! The chicken is first poached, then roasted: two cookings, twice the flavor.
Use a 22x22cm square tin for a fluffy focaccia.
Serve with a nice green salad or baked potato for those with a sweet tooth.
The white stock obtained from poaching the chicken can be reheated the next day with the remaining chicken on the carcass and some pasta such as cornette.
