Recipe of the Month

Serves 4
Ready in 1 hour 20 mins

2 lemons
25g butter
2 tbsp clear honey
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
8-10 skin-on chicken drumsticks 
and thighs
450g baby potatoes
150g French green beans
2-3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6. Squeeze the juice from one lemon and slice the other lemon. Melt the butter, honey and lemon juice in a small pan. Stir in the garlic.
2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the chicken pieces (in batches if necessary) over a high heat until nicely browned all over, adding the lemon slices for a couple of mins. 
3 Transfer and arrange the chicken pieces in a rectangular roasting dish with the potatoes. Spoon the honey mixture over the chicken pieces. Roast in the oven for 45-55 mins or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp and brown.
4 About 5 mins before the chicken 
has finished cooking, cook the beans in a small pan of boiling water. Drain and add to the roasting dish. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
