This crispy salt and pepper chicken offers a sophisticated take on a tray-bake dinner, combining succulent poultry with the delicate, aniseed notes of roasted fennel. By using potato starch instead of traditional flour, the chicken achieves a superior crunch while remaining a lighter, diabetes-friendly option. This savoury dish relies on a blend of white and black peppers to provide a gentle, warming heat that perfectly complements the sweetness of the caramelised shallots.
Ideal for an easy midweek meal or a relaxed weekend lunch, this all-in-one roast is both nutritious and satisfying. The addition of smashed garlic and fresh parsley brings a vibrant depth of flavour without the need for heavy sauces. Serve this wholesome main with a side of steamed greens or a light watercress salad to keep the meal balanced and fresh.

Ingredients for Crispy Salt and Pepper Chicken with Caramelized Fennel and Shallots
Cooking spray
One 1.6kg chicken, cut into 8 pieces
60ml potato starch
2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch slices
4 shallots, halved if large
4 garlic cloves, smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

How to make Crispy Salt and Pepper Chicken with Caramelized Fennel and Shallots
Preheat the oven to 204°C. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place the chicken pieces and flour in a large resealable plastic bag and toss to coat evenly. Shake off any excess flour. Place the chicken, fennel, shallots, and garlic in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and black and white peppers. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley before serving.
