Classic roast chicken & gravy
A classic roast chicken recipe should be in everyone's repertoire. Make this oven baked chicken with gravy for a satisfying Sunday lunch.
Heat the oil in a shallow pan and sizzle the garlic for 1 min until fragrant. Add the chilli, thyme and celeriac. Toss everything to coat in the oil, then season with salt.
Turn the heat down to a minimum, cover the pan and cook everything really gently for 40 mins or until soft enough to squash. Stir occasionally and add a splash of white wine or water if it starts to catch. When cooked, crush the celeriac lightly with a wooden spoon and serve. The celeriac may now be left to cool in the pan – reheat on the hob with a drizzle more oil.
