Steps:
- Separate the chicken pieces at the joint and dry them using paper towels. For instructions on how to disjoint a chicken, check out the cooking tips" section of the website.
- Mix mustard, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture over the chicken.
- Combine the flour and the baking powder in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, one at a time, and shake off any excess flour. Put the meat on a platter and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- After preheating the oven to 200°F/93°C, heat the oil to 375°F/190°C in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the chicken into the pot, skin side down, and cook covered until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Next, lower the temperature to medium, adjusting the burner to maintain oil temperature between 300 and 325°F (150 to 160°C). Cook the chicken uncovered for about 5 minutes or until cooked through, turning as necessary (internal temperature should register 160°F/70°C for white meat and 175°F/80° for dark meat).
- Fit a wire rack into a rimmed baking sheet, place the chicken on it, and season with some Old Bay, then put the chicken in the oven.
- Bring the oil back to 375°F/190°C, and repeat steps 4 and 5 with the rest of the meat.
- For the gravy, pour out all but ¼ cup (60 ml) of oil from the pot. Blend in flour and cook about 2 minutes on medium heat, until golden. Mix in broth, cream, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, for about 5 minutes, over medium-low heat. Season with some salt to taste and serve with the chicken.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and sit the chicken in a small roasting tin. Mix all the spices with 2 tsp salt using a pestle and mortar - try to grind the oregano finely so that it doesn't burn. Rub the spice mix over the chicken with some oil, and cover loosely with foil.
- Sit the potatoes in another tin, and put them in the oven together with the chicken. After 30 mins, remove the foil. Pierce the banana once in the skin with a knife and put alongside the potatoes, and roast with the chicken for another 30 mins.
- Check the potatoes are soft, then remove them and the banana from the oven. Leave the chicken to cook for a final 10 mins. Split the potatoes and banana, and scrape all the flesh into a saucepan. Add 1 tsp salt, half the butter and the milk, then mash together. Season.
- Check the chicken is cooked by piercing the inner thigh and ensuring the juices run clear. Lift to a serving platter and rest for 10 mins.
