Australian Free Range Whole Chicken

Preparation Time: 20mins Cooking Time: 50mins Serving: 6

Ingredients:

• 1 large free-range chicken, spatchcocked
• 6 tbsp. pomegranate molasses, plus extra for brushing
• 4garlic cloves
• 1red chilli, finely chopped
• 300 g bulgur wheat, cooked
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

      Roasted vegetables

• 2 carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 parsnips, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 red onions, root left intact, sliced thinly
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Place the chicken in a resealable bag with the pomegranate molasses, garlic and chilli. Season with salt and pepper and mix the chicken in the bag so that it’s completely coated. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
2. When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and prepare the vegetables. Tip the carrots, parsnips and red onions into a large roasting tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Make space in the centre of the tray and add the chicken along with the marinade.
3. Roast in the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until cooked through and the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh. The vegetables should also be tender at this stage. About 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, brush the chicken with pomegranate molasses and return to the oven.
4. Remove the chicken to a chopping board and cover with foil. Add the cooked bulgur wheat to the roasted vegetables in the tray and toss to coat in all the juices.
5. Cut the chicken into breast, thigh, leg and wing portions and place on top of the bulgur wheat. Serve the whole tray straight to the table for your guests to help themselves.
