This maple-soy glazed roast chicken offers a sophisticated twist on the classic Sunday lunch. The combination of sweet maple syrup and savoury soy sauce creates a beautifully lacquered, golden skin, while the cavity is infused with the aromatic warmth of fresh ginger, garlic and orange. It is a wonderfully fragrant dish that fills the kitchen with a mouth-watering scent as it roasts, resulting in succulent meat and a rich, complex gravy.
As a naturally dairy-free main course, this recipe is perfect for entertaining guests with specific dietary requirements without compromising on flavour. The addition of Sherry in the roasting tin ensures the chicken stays moist throughout the cooking process and forms the base of a punchy, restaurant-quality sauce. Serve it alongside steamed seasonal greens and roasted root vegetables for a complete, comforting meal.
