Bill Granger recipe: Roast chicken with garlic and lemon


Chicken wings are good value (even organic ones) and great for informal eating with your fingers, but use a whole jointed chicken if you prefer. Dress up the simple flavours by adding spices such as chopped chilli, cumin seed, or a dollop of harissa, and scatter the dish with lots of fresh herbs.
