Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the whole chicken with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its juices every 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Leeks

    While the chicken is roasting, trim and wash the leeks thoroughly. Cut them into halves lengthwise, then into 2-inch pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for the last 30 minutes of the chicken’s cooking time.

  4. 4

    Make the Caramelised Cauliflower Purée

    Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the steamed cauliflower and sauté for another 5 minutes. Blend the cauliflower mixture until smooth, adding salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Lemon & Honey Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix the honey and juice of the lemon. Brush this mixture over the roasted chicken during the last 15 minutes of roasting.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes. Serve the chicken alongside the roasted leeks and a generous scoop of the caramelised cauliflower purée.
