Crispy Almond Roasted Chicken with Lemon, Rosemary & Fennel
Serves 6-8
This is roast chicken like it should be, incredibly moist with crispy roasted almond topping. Each mouthful is like a marvellous burst of the Mediterranean, the addition of fennel adds a subtle sweet aniseed flavour, while the lemon cuts through the sweet salty juices in the bottom of the pan. Enjoy!
