Ingredients

1.6kg fresh whole chicken
1 tblsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red capsicum, chopped
40g packet French onion soup mix
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup sweet orange marmalade
Fresh parsley, to garnish
Mashed potato and cracked black pepper, to serve

Method

1. Cut chicken in half through backbone from one end to the other. Cut breasts, with wings attached, away from thighs. Halve breasts crossways. Cut legs from thighs. You'll have eight pieces.
2. Place chicken and oil in a large bowl. Season. Toss to combine.
3. Heat a flameproof casserole dish over a medium to high heat. Add chicken in two batches. Cook until browned. Remove.
4. Reduce heat. Add onion, garlic and capsicum. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft. Add combined soup mix, stock and marmalade. Bring to boil. Return chicken to dish.
5. Cook, covered, in a moderate oven (180C) for 40 minutes.
6. Garnish with parsley. Serve with mashed potato and pepper.

Notes

For creamy mash, boil 1kg potatoes until tender. Drain. Return to pan. Stir over a low heat until moisture evaporates. Mash. Add 50g butter and 1 cup warm milk. Beat with a wooden spoon until combined. Season.
