Chicken

This vibrant, Thai-inspired curry is a weeknight go-to, combining creamy coconut milk, fresh vegetables and a touch of lime. Precooked chicken cuts down on prep, bringing together a flavour-packed meal in no time.

A slow, gentle cook transforms chicken into something deeply tender and rich. Low heat keeps the meat juicy while breaking down collagen for an ultra silky texture.

For an extra-crisp and golden skin, pat chicken dry with paper towel and leave in the fridge (unwrapped) on a baking sheet overnight.

Spatchcocking a chicken radically reduces roasting time and makes for a more evenly cooked bird.

In this homemade version of the 1990s weeknight hero, chicken takes a dip in a mayo-mustard blend, to keep the meat juicy and lock in flavour, before it hits the spice mix.
