FANCY A CHICKEN PIE TOMORROW?
■ Think ahead and cut away leftover roast chicken from the carcass; cook double the amount of leeks with bacon & mushroom (page 60); and use ready-made pastry or perhaps leftover mash potatoes. Chicken & leek pie –without the hassle!
Lemon & thyme butter-basted roast chicken & gravy
Smoothing the butter under the skin helps baste the chicken and the herbs in the butter add a delicious flavour to your gravy.
