This is the roast chicken recipe that many Dear Readers come back to time and time again. This chicken has a tasty delicious cavolo nero and walnut brandy stuffing along with all the trimmings like gravy and roast vegetables like Parmesan Garlic Potatoes & Chilli Honey Pumpkin Wedges.

2 - Zuni Roast Chicken

This Zuni roast chicken recipe is a classic for a reason. The method for getting the skin super crisp is ingenious and the bread salad that it is served with is divine-kind of like a tasty salad that is heavy on the croutons.

3 - Roast Chicken with Bread Sauce

This roast chicken is made using the Heston Blumenthal method where a chicken is roasted at low temperatures to ensure that it remains moist (sorry!) and juicy. I paired it with a bread sauce that is pure comfort and is like a creamy, dreamy bechamel sauce.

4 - Rotisserie Style Chicken on Bread

This is the roast chicken to serve when you want to feed a group of people and they're hungry. It has a spice mix that tastes like a classic rotisserie chicken but is served atop a massive sourdough garlic bread with herbs and tomatoes. Honestly you just have to try this at least once!

5 - Restaurant Inspired Roast Chicken

I'm finishing off with one of my favourite roast chicken recipes inspired by Ursula's restaurant in Paddington. Like the restaurant, we've stuffed this chicken with a scallop and prawn mousse - my version pairs it with a fish sauce caramel butter sauce that is perfectly umami. One to save for someone special!

So tell me Dear Reader, which style of roast chicken do you like the sound of?
