John's rustic Sunday lunch

You can't beat a roast chicken for flavour and simplicity. Cooking it in a pot with the potatoes seals in the flavours and makes for some seriously tasty half-boiled, half-roasted spuds at the same time. Hopefully the sun's still shining, so instead of serving with cooked veg and traditional gravy, try a sautéed mushroom salad and herb dressing instead
