£11.75/kgIf you only ever try one roast chicken recipe, let it be this one. Waitrose Duchy Organic chicken is so juicy and full of flavour, it's best to keep it simple – just roast with plenty of garlic, bay leaves, onion and sliced lemon.

Preheat the oven to 220˚C, gas mark 7. Remove the chicken from the fridge 30 minutes before roasting. Put the onions, garlic, sliced lemon, 2 sprigs thyme and half the bay leaves in a small roasting tin that fits the chicken snugly; season. Put the remaining thyme and bay leaves and ½ lemon in the cavity of the chicken. Sit it on top of the onions, breastside down, and season. Roast for 30 minutes.
Turn down the oven temperature to 200˚C, gas mark 6. Lift the chicken out of the tin; let any juices run into the onions. Stir and sit the chicken back on top, breast-side up; season. Push the onions under so they don’t burn. Roast for 20 minutes, then lift the chicken and stir the onions again. Roast for 20-25 minutes more until cooked through and no pink meat remains. Insert a small, sharp knife into the thigh, close to the bone; the juices should run clear. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil to rest. Roast the onions for another 20-30 minutes.
Put the onions on the hob; add 200ml water (or stock) plus any juices from the chicken. Simmer over a high heat, scraping up any caramelised bits, until thickened slightly. Carve the chicken, adding any extra juices to the gravy before serving.
