  1. GET READY TO ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on a roasting tray with the carrot wedges. Coat in oil, the Oriental Rub, and a little seasoning. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated. Toss through the drained lentils and set aside.

  2. BRAISED BABY ONIONS

    When the roast reaches the halfway mark peel the onions and halve lengthways. Don’t remove the tip that keeps the layers joined together. Place a nonstick pan that has a lid over a medium heat. Pour in enough oil to cover the base, add in the onion halves, and turn cut-side down. Once sizzling, reduce to a low heat and pop on the lid. Allow to braise for 15-20 minutes until the cut side is charred and caramelised, shifting occasionally. On completion, remove the pan from the heat.

  3. TIME FOR SOME CRISP

    When the roast has 10 minutes remaining, give it a shift and evenly sprinkle the kale and lentils around it. Return to the oven and roast for the remaining time until the chicken is cooked through and everything is crisping up.

  4. CITRUS MAPLE GLAZE

    Place a small pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pour in the maple glaze and squeeze in the juice of 1 orange wedge. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened and glossy. Remove from the heat on completion and stir in a knob of butter (optional).

  5. A DELIGHTFUL DINNER

    Serve up some crisp kale, lentils, and carrot wedges. Top with the baby onions and roasted chicken pieces, and drizzle over the maple glaze to taste. Garnish with the chopped parsley, the orange zest, and an orange wedge. What a meal!
