Chef's Tips

For crispier chicken skin, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables.

Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the vegetables before serving for extra brightness.

"Eton Mess, a classic British dessert, offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors that cleanse the palate after the savory main course. The sweet berries and meringue provide a light and fresh counterpoint to the chicken, while the elderflower liqueur adds a subtle floral note that echoes the herbal profile of the roast."
