Great for a gang, especially if you have hungry teenagers. An all-in-one roasting tin – just serve with salad or a fresh slaw. You will need a large roasting tin, so the liquid evaporates and the potatoes can get crispy.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/Gas 7. Line a large shallow roasting tin with non-stick baking paper.

Step 2

Mix all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl. The grainy mustard, tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic and honey.

Step 3

Score the chicken legs, using a sharp knife, with three slashes across the skin, cutting into the meat a little bit. Sit the legs, skin-side up, on one side of the roasting tin. Spread the glaze over the chicken and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

Place the halved new potatoes and olive oil in a bowl. Add some seasoning and toss to coat the potatoes in the oil. Tip into the tin next to the chicken, so they do not overlap. Roast in the preheated oven for about 35–40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 5

Place the chicken on a plate and cover with foil to rest. Gently turn the potatoes in the tin to coat in any leftover glaze and spread out in a single layer. Slide back into the oven for a further 8–10 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.

Step 6

Serve the chicken and potatoes with Coleslaw, homemade from Mary's book, or shop-bought.
