Ingredients

1 large onion or 2 small onions
1/2 cup olive oil (not extra-virgin)
2 teaspoons English mustard
1 tablespoon dried sage
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon
1 (4-pound) chicken, jointed into 10 pieces
12 sausages
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, chopped

Directions

Peel and cut the onion into eighths, and put into a freezer bag with the oil, mustard, dried sage, a good grinding of pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cut lemon in half, squeeze juice into bag, and then cut the halves into eighths and add them. Squidge everything around to mix (the mustard needs help to combine) and then add the chicken pieces. Leave to marinade in the refrigerator overnight, or for up to 2 days.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature in its marinade.

Arrange the chicken pieces in a roasting tin skin side up with the marinade, including all the bits and pieces, and tuck the sausages around them. Sprinkle the fresh sage leaves over the chicken and sausages and then put the tin into the oven to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the sausages over half way through to color them evenly.

Arrange the chicken and sausages on a large platter.

Unbelievably good and super easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was great. I followed the suggestion from the show to use chicken thighs instead of a whole chicken and twisted six... Italian sausages into 12 mini sausages which is how they looked on TV. Absolutely delicious. My picky kids gobbled everything up.Read more

Super yummy - and leftovers make great soup!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a stand-by recipe for us for weekends or casual company. Everybody loves it - even my son. It's so easy to throw... together in the morning, and then bake at night while we sit around nibbling appetizers. It makes a ton though. I use only chicken breasts and shred the meat off the bones in big pieces and cut the sausages in half for easier (and more reasonable portion sized) serving. The other night I minced up the left-overs and made a soup by including the baking liquid, adding broth, a couple of carrots, a potato, half a can of beans and half a can of tomatoes and some cooked barley with mushrooms (cleaning out the fridge a bit). It was FANTASTIC (but better before the barley).Read more

So good.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Like most recipes, I use what I had in the frig/freezer/pantry. So I used a variation of this (using skinless/boneless... chicken and chicken sausage) and it was delicious, moist and satisfying! The best part of this recipe is that it is sooooo easy. I marinated it in just a few minutes as I was rushing out the door. It was a last minute thought. I came home, plopped it in a pan, added the (chicken) sausage and done. Read more

I was expecting more
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

From all the rave reviews, I was expecting this to be outstanding. It was good, but not really any better than my other... baked chicken recipes that don't take 24 hours to prepare. I did cook it at 425 for just over an hour and it wasn't overcooked at all. I also followed some of the other suggestions and cut the oil to 1/3 cup and that was plenty. I'm not sure I will make it again, but if I do, I think I will try it with cayanne pepper and see if that makes a difference in the wow factor.Read more

The garlic dilemma
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just watched this episode and Nigella uses 1/2 cup garlic oil, but says you could just as easy use light olive oil and... throw in 3 cloves of garlic. I think I would crush the cloves before putting them in. Haven't made this yet, but the website made me give it a rating before I could post this comment, so I gave it 5 stars because I can just tell this recipe is going to deserve them. This is going in my recipe box. Can't wait to make it -- probably tomorrow. Sounds like a great Fall Sunday dinner.Read more
