In the nice weather hot roast chicken is lovely with a cool crispy salad, new potatoes, coleslaw, etc.

You can also dice it, mix it with peppers or any other veg you fancy, stir it into some cooked pasta and either drizzle with a dressing or stir in some mayo.

You can do anything with chicken really, it's very versatile. Have it with a jacket potato and mayo or stir it into some creamed mushrooms, whatever you fancy. Dice it and mix it with salad and dressing, then have it in a wrap.

mix some curry powder or paste with mayonnaise or a mix of mayonnaise and natural yogurt, dice up the chicken and chuck it in, you can also add a bit of mango chutney if you so wish.

roast chicken, roast veg & couscous works really well. for the veg, go with butternut squash, sweet potato, courgettes, tomatoes, peppers, red onion, aubergine, anything else you can find that you think might go.

roast chicken, pasta and salad is great too

A simple way of roasting would be to drizzle it with olive oil, season with salt, pepper and paprika, and insert some cloves of garlic up the posterior. Serve with potatoes cooked in the same juice.

1. Blend into a paste: fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, dried oregano, some lemon juice, olive oil, (preferably full-fat greek) yoghurt, garlic, salt and pepper.
2. With your hand, carefully separate the skin of the chicken from the meat (breast, thigh and drumstick if possible), and fill the space between skin and meat with the blended paste. Truss to seal, maybe with additional toothpicks if necessary.
   If your schedule permits, marinate overnight.
3. Rub the outside of the chicken with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken very slowly (130� - 140� for about two hours), basting regularly with the juices.
