Provided by Pistol

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (6-pound) whole fryer chicken
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 cloves garlic, smashed
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lemon, cut in quarters
3/4 cup 2-percent Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 celery ribs, diced
1 small red onion, minced
2 lemons, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 (6-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 (12-inch) whole wheat tortillas
1 pint broccoli sprouts
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F and adjust a rack to the middle position. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack, or in a roasting pan with a rack, and drizzle the chicken with olive oil. Generously sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Pack the cavity with the garlic, thyme and lemons. Place the chicken breast-side down on the rack. Roast the chicken for the first hour at 400°F, and then turn up the heat to 450°F and roast until the breast temperature registers 160°F and the skin is a golden brown, for the last 30 to 45 minutes. Then set the chicken aside to rest and cool. When easy to handle, remove the legs, wings and any dark meat, reserving to eat for your next meal or to snack on immediately. Remove the skin from the breast meat. Using your hands, shred the breast meat and place in a bowl. Season the breast meat chicken with salt and pepper. For the salad: Mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, walnuts, cranberries, celery, onions, lemon zest and juice, tarragon and water chestnuts and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Fold in the shredded chicken. For the sandwich build: Layer the whole wheat wraps with some broccoli sprouts and tomato slices and then top with the chicken salad. Wrap and enjoy!

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

50g butter
4 slices of preserved lemon (25g/1oz) lemon , pith and flesh removed, skin finely chopped
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
1 chicken (about 1kg/ 2lb 4oz)
2 bay leaves
2 thyme sprigs
3 tarragon sprigs
1 tbsp olive oil
200g freekeh , thoroughly rinsed under a cold tap for a few mins
1 bay leaf
½ small pack of mint
1/2 small pack of basil
1/2 small pack of flat-leaf parsley
200g podded broad beans , blanched and peeled
4 spring onions , sliced
150g pack rainbow radishes , halved (smaller ones left whole)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
juice 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a bowl or food processor, combine the butter, preserved lemon and garlic to make a flavoured butter.
  • Pat the chicken with kitchen paper, then fill the cavity with the bay, thyme, tarragon and flavoured butter, saving a little to spread over the thighs and breast. Season and roast in the oven for about 1 hr, basting every 20 mins or so with the preserved lemon butter and juices. It is cooked when the leg is wobbly when pulled from the body, and the juices run clear. Remove from the oven and leave to rest while you make the salad.
  • Heat the olive oil in a high-sided frying pan or saucepan. Toast the freekeh for a few mins with the bay leaf. Cover with water, bring to the boil and skim off any scum. Simmer for 25-30 mins until cooked but still with a little bite. Rinse the freekeh under cold water, then drain and mix it with the herbs, broad beans, spring onions and radishes. Season and dress with olive oil, lemon juice and the juices from the bird poured over.
