THE MOST AROMATIC ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the herbs, finely chop, and place in a small bowl. Mix in the jam, the spice mix to taste, and some seasoning. Pat the Chicken pieces dry with paper towel and place on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and then in the apricot glaze. Add the whole, unpeeled garlic clove to the tray. Place the sweet potato pieces on a separate roasting tray, and coat in oil and seasoning. Pop both trays in the hot oven and roast for 30-35 minutes.
TOMATO TIME
Place ¾ of the rinsed baby tomatoes in a bowl, and toss through a small drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Quarter the remaining baby tomatoes and place in a separate bowl. Add some Lemon juice and zest to taste, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice, and set aside to pickle.
BRIGHTEN THINGS UP
When the roast has reached the halfway mark, give both trays a shift and scatter the whole baby tomatoes around the Chicken. Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time. On completion, the chicken should be cooked through and crispy, the sweet potato should be caramelised and crisping up, and the tomatoes should have blistered.
THE FINAL TOSS
When the roast is ready, remove from the oven and discard the skin from the garlic. Roughly chop the flesh and mix through the bowl of tomato. Toss through the rinsed salad leaves, the Radish rounds, and 10ml of olive oil until coated.
SWEET ’N SOUR FEAST
Plate up a pile of crisp sweet potato, and side with the sticky roast Chicken and blistered baby tomatoes. Spoon over any tray juices to taste. Serve the tasty garden salad on the side and dig in!
