TO DRINK: Perdeberg Rex Equus Chenin Blanc is especially confident with strong flavours.

TO DRINK: A juicy, light style like a chianti loves tomato-based dishes

It’s best to use a nice free-range or organic chicken for this dish, or the best quality bird you can afford. I love the idea of the tasty vegetables in…

TO DRINK: De Trafford Chenin Blanc, pale and honey-rich, will match the chicken and offset the herbs.

Pop a few small chickens in the oven and you’re ready to serve a crowd of hungry eaters

All your ingredients should be at room temperature when mixing, otherwise they might split. TO DRINK: A nutty, off-dry sherry works well with rich, earthy dishes.

TO DRINK: Avontuur Vintner’s Blend 2011 Chardonnay/Pinot Noir – a gorgeous fruity summer wine.

TO DRINK: Kleinood Viognier 2007’s nutty character will match this dish’s sweet and savoury flavours.
