Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Pat chicken skin and cavity dry with paper towel. Carefully run your fingers between skin and breast meat to loosen. Place in a large roasting pan.

  2. Step 2

    Crush garlic clove from the vegetable pack. Place butter in a small bowl. Stir in the garlic, mustard and half the chopped sage. Place half the butter mixture under the skin and spread all over breast meat.

  3. Step 3

    Combine the breadcrumbs, remaining chopped sage, spring onion, cranberries, pistachio, lemon juice and extra butter in a bowl. Season and spoon stuffing into the cavity. Tie the legs with kitchen string. Spread the remaining butter mixture over the chicken. Cover with foil.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 1 hour. Remove foil. Add the vegetables and baste with pan juices. Roast for 35-40 mins or until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced and chicken is cooked through. Cover. Rest for 10 mins.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the chicken with sage leaves, steamed greens and gravy.
