Roast Chicken with Zesty Chickpea Stuffing






This is a variation on a roast chicken recipe that you could try over Easter. The recipe comes from Franglais Kitchen, though she says to use a whole can of chickpeas and I could only get half a tin into the cavity. So once you have the chicken that you plan to roast, you need:

half a can of chickpeas

half a lemon

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp garam masala

pinch of chilli flakes

salt and pepper



Mix the chickpeas with the seasoning in a bowl






Spoon inside the cavity of the chicken and block the gap with half a lemon






Roast the chicken as normal, remembering to add on the cooking time for the extra weight of the stuffing






Carve the chicken and serve with the spicy chickpeas
