By roasting the chicken on the bone, the meat stays incredibly succulent, while the skin achieves a beautiful golden crispness.

As a dairy-free recipe, this dish uses clever substitutions to maintain a rich, comforting texture without the need for butter. It is an excellent choice for a midweek treat or a relaxed weekend lunch, pairs perfectly with steamed green beans or buttery mashed potatoes.
