Cook in the bag chicken

Firstly though, what lovely rain we had yesterday afternoon and evening. The garden looks great (if still a mess) and more due tomorrow. The water butts are completely full again.

Whilst away, DDiL cooked us a delicious roast chicken dinner using one of the above. We hadn't tried them and did so the other day.

Instructions on the bag and online were different so we guessed. It took longer than they said and the skin wasn't as crisp but boy, was it moist.

I plated up 4 meals, two for another day, and we still had a cereal bowl of chicken left plus plenty of gravy:

I also cooked my roast potatoes the same way as her and they also worked out great. Never say you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

A roast dinner is a rare treat for us as I get fed up of all the work, to then eat the results so quickly and deal with pots galore afterwards.
