Instructions: Aga equipment
small roasting tin on lowest set of runners in roasting oven

Loosen the skin of the chicken over the breast and legs with your fingers.

Insert the orange slices and pieces of lime leaves under the skin with the orange slices covering the lime leaves (to prevent the leaves from drying). Place the chicken in the roasting tin.

Cut the potatoes into large chunks then turn them and the onions in the oil. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken then season everything with salt and pepper.

Pour the wine over the chicken then cover the breast with a butter paper to prevent it from overbrowning.

Roast the chicken for 1 hour or until the juices run clear removing the butter paper after 20 minutes.

Wrap the chicken in foil and leave it to stand for about 20 minutes before carving.

Meanwhile drain the juices from the tin into a pan for the sauce then continue to cook the vegetables in the bottom of the roasting tin on the floor of the ovenfor 20 minutes until slightly crisp turning once or twice.

Remove the vegetables with a perforated spoon and keep them warm in the simmering oven.

Stir the cream into the meat juices in the pan then bring to the boil on the simmering plate.

Season to the sauce to taste and stir in the parsley.

Carve the chicken.

Spoon the sauce over the slices and serve with the roasted potatoes and onions.

Sweet roasted chicken with a slight kick which comes from the kaffir lime leaves! Sweet onions are mild and often white in colour they roast very well in a selection of root vegetables.
