Method
- To make the stuffing, melt the butter in a saucepan set over a low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the oats, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and chopped herbs. Lightly season the stuffing with salt and pepper and allow to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
- Fill the cavity of the chicken with the cold stuffing and tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Place the chicken on a roasting tray. Rub the chicken all over with the softened butter and mustard, then sprinkle over the rosemary and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast the chicken in the oven for about 1½ hours, until the juices run clear when you pierce the thickest part of the thigh. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve the succulent roast chicken with stuffing on the side, freshly cooked green beans and some lightly dressed baby salad leaves.
