chicken the king of birds. can a chicken fly? not when its dead, you'll need a dead one for this recipe. if you buy it whole, you'll need to cut it up into pieces.

so you have your bird in pieces and you put it in a deep oven tray. add salt, pepper, cinnamon, lemon juice throw the two halves of the lemon in as well and add two bay leaves. shove this in a hot oven about 245 or as high as it goes. 15mins or until you see your bird brown.

take your chicken out. peel and cut your potatoes in half. proper potatoes like maris piper or king edward. not your girly new potatoes or they will overcook. mix your potatoes a little olive oil and then add them to the chicken.

back in the oven at 200 for an hour until cooked

30mins into the cooking of the potatoes and chicken add chopped up tomatoes and just a touch of sugar to the toms.
