Tuscan-Style Roasted Chicken with Wine and Garlic

This is a great dish for a cold night and my favourite kind of comfort food, especially when served with Creamy Polenta.

Whole Butterflied Lemon and Rosemary Chicken on Rocket with Citrus Salad

I first thought about splitting a chicken along the breast bone when I was in a rush to get it cooked on the barbeque, and figured the cooking time would be reduced. An added bonus was the fact that it became much easier to baste the chicken on both sides, resulting in a real flavour boost from the stunning combination of lemon, rosemary and olive oil. Ensure you cook your chicken over low heat as long, slow cooking renders this chicken meltingly tender and juicy. This citrus salad is a perfect accompaniment.

Whole Roasted Chicken with Chorizo and Herb Stuffing

The spicy chorizo in this recipe makes a heart-warming stuffing. For the herbs, I like to use parsley, basil, chives and thyme. When I stuff a bird, I don't do anything fancy like sewing or skewering the cavity closed. I just tie the legs together with a piece of string.

Zesty Citrus Chicken Stir-fry with Asian Greens

The surprise addition of orange zest and juice gives this stir-fry a wonderfully exostic fragrance.
