<p><em>Swap out the lemon for lime, orange or grapefruit if you prefer.  </em></p>
<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Ingredients</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">2 lemons </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 (about 1.25kg) whole chicken </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">45ml soft butter </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Handful fresh sage leaves </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">30ml olive oil </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Method</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Cut one of the lemons in half, then cut each half into thin half-moon slices. Cut the other lemon into quarters. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Use your fingers to gently separate the skin from the chicken breast to create a pocket. Spread the soft butter carefully under the skin. Then, place the lemon slices and a few sage leaves under the skin. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Put any leftover slices of lemon along with the lemon quarters and a sprig of sage into the cavity of the chicken. Tie the legs closed with string. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Pat the chicken dry and rub with olive oil. Season well with the salt and pepper. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Preheat the air fryer to 160 °C. Put the chicken, breast side down, into the basket of the air fryer and cook for 20 minutes. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Turn the chicken over and baste with a little more olive oil. Cook for a further 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked and golden, and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer to check: the temperature should be 85°C. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Remove from the air fryer and set aside to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.</span></li>

<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Ingredients </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">1.3kg whole chicken, giblets removed </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">2 red onions, quartered </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1kg baby potatoes, washed </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />

</span><span data-contrast="auto">Fresh coriander, for garnish (optional)</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><strong>For the stuffing:  </strong></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Oil, for frying </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 packet (200g) streaky bacon, chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 medium-size orange sweet potato, peeled and cubed 1 onion, chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">4 cloves garlic, finely chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Handful fresh parsley, chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1½ cups (130g) breadcrumbs </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Salt and black pepper </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 egg </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Method </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> To make the stuffing, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry bacon until golden. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> In the same pan, fry sweet potato cubes until just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Add onion, garlic and herbs, and fry for 5–8 minutes, stirring often. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Tip in breadcrumbs and bacon, season and cook for 2 minutes more. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Remove from heat and allow to cool before mixing through the egg. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Season chicken, outside and inside the cavity, and spoon stuffing into cavity. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Truss the chicken (see Chef’s Tip below). This is optional but ensures the best result – it keeps its shape and cooks evenly. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Place red onions and baby potatoes in a roasting tray, toss with oil, season and place the chicken on top. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Roast in the oven at 180°C for 60–80 minutes, basting regularly with juices. (It’s done when the skin is golden all over and the juices run clear when the chicken is pricked with a sharp knife.) </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Serve chicken with roasted potatoes and onion, coriander and pan juices.</span></li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>SERVES</strong> 6 //  <strong>COOK TIME</strong> 1 hr 45 minutes</span></p>
<p><strong>INGREDIENTS </strong><br />
<strong>For the bulgur wheat date stuffing</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>2 tbsp</strong> vegetable oil</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>2 tbsp</strong> butter</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>2</strong> onions, halved and sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>1 tsp</strong> ground cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>2 tsp</strong> ground cumin</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>2 tbsp</strong> finely chopped rosemary</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>1 cup</strong> bulgur wheat</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>2 cups</strong> boiling water</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>20</strong> pitted dates, roughly chopped</span><br />
<strong>For the roasted chicken</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>1</strong> whole chicken</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>3 tbsp</strong> melted butter</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>1 tsp</strong> salt</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>1 tsp</strong> ground cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>1 tsp</strong> ground cumin </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Rosemary sprigs, extra, to serve</span></p>
<p><strong>METHOD</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>1.</strong>  For the bulgur wheat date stuffing:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>2</strong>. Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan. Add onions and fry, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>3.  </strong>Add cinnamon, cumin and rosemary and cook for a minute until fragrant.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>4.</strong>  Add the bulgur wheat and stir to incorporate with the spices and onions. Add water and cook for 10 minutes until bulgar wheat is tender. Stir through the dates. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>5.  </strong>Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet to cool.</span><br />
<strong>For the roasted chicken</strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>1.</strong> Take chicken out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to come to room temperature. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>2</strong>. Preheat oven to 200°C.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>3.</strong> Place chicken in a roasting tray. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the bulgur wheat date stuffing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>4.</strong> Brush the chicken with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and spices.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>5.</strong> Warm-up any leftover bulgur wheat stuffing. Place on a large platter around the chicken to serve and garnish with extra rosemary.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: 1em;"><strong>Quick tip</strong>: Roast chicken for 1 &#8211; 1 ½ hours, depending on its size, until the skin is golden and crisp, and the juices run clear when the breast is pierced. If the chicken isn’t cooked and starts getting too dark, cover loosely with tin foil. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A good rule of thumb when roasting a whole chicken is to cook it 20 minutes per 500g of its total weight.</span></em></p>

But instead of just boring old rice, we&#8217;ve swapped it out for spinach risotto!</p>
<p class="p1"><b>SERVES</b> 4 <b>// COOK TIME</b> 40 mins</p>
<p class="p4"><span class="s1"><b>INGREDIENTS<br />
</b></span><span class="s1"><b>4</b> skinless chicken breast fillets<br />
</span>Salt and black pepper<br />
<b>1 tbsp</b> olive oil, plus extra to drizzle<br />
<b>1L</b> chicken stock or 1 chicken stock cube with 1L water<br />
<b>20g</b> butter<br />
<b>1</b> onion, peeled and finely chopped<br />
<b>3 cloves</b> garlic, peeled and crushed<br />
<b>2 cups</b> Arborio rice<br />
<b>1 cup</b> dry white wine<br />
<b>250g</b> baby spinach<br />
<b>⅓ cup</b> grated Parmesan<br />
Zest of <b>1</b> lemon<br />
<b>2 tbsp</b> finely chopped sage<br />
<span class="s1"><b>2 tbsp</b> finely chopped </span>parsley</p>
<p class="p4"><span class="s1"><b>METHOD<br />
</b></span><b>1.</b> Preheat oven to 180°C.<br />
<b>2.</b> Season the chicken breasts and drizzle with oil.<br />
<b>3.</b> Heat a griddle pan over high heat and cook the chicken on each side, until golden griddle lines appear. Then cook in the oven for 10 minutes.<br />
<b>4.</b> Place the chicken stock in a pot over medium heat. Keep hot to use later.<br />
<b>5.</b> Melt the butter and 1 tbsp <span class="s1">oil </span>in a heavy-based pan over <span class="s1">medium heat and fry the onion </span>for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute. Add the rice and toast slightly, until it starts to pop.<br />
<b>6.</b> Add the wine to deglaze the <span class="s1">pan and cook for 1 minute until it reduces. Start adding the stock, </span>2 ladles at a time, continuously <span class="s1">stirring so the rice soaks it up. </span>Once all the stock is added, the risotto should be al dente, with a porridge-like consistency.<br />
<b>7.</b> Stir in the spinach, Parmesan, <span class="s1">lemon zest and herbs. Serve with</span> the sliced chicken.</p>
