THERE IS NOTHING more satisfying than a traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings, but at this time of year especially, even the tastiest of roasts can become a bit tired.
Thankfully, the adaptable chicken lends itself to so many ways of cooking and takes on bold flavours incredibly well. From fall-apart slow roast to Indian inspired, we’ve rounded up our favourite twists on the classic roast chicken below. That’s New Year’s dinner sorted!
1. Vietnamese Roast Chicken, from Conor Bofin: This recipe uses a delicious selection of fragrant spices which would taste great served with some jasmine rice and salad. Why not make double the quantities of the marinade and store in a jar in the fridge.
2. Slow Roasted Lemon and Garlic Chicken, from Nigella Lawson: This recipe couldn’t get any easier – simply throw everything into a roasting dish and pop it into the oven while you go about your day. The slow cooking results in a moist, fall-off-the-bone chicken.
3. Cider Can Roast Chicken, from Alchemy in the Kitchen: If you are a fan of roast chicken but haven’t yet tried this method, you are in for a treat! As the cider evaporates, the flavours permeate the chicken leaving you with a fragrant, juicy roast. Delicious!
4. Spatchcock Chicken with Sweet Potatoes, from Chef Adrian: A quick, healthy recipe that would make a great midweek dinner when you want something fuss free. So simple yet so, so tasty!
5. Indian Roast Chicken, from I Love Cooking: If you like a bit of spice then you will love this Indian flavoured roast chicken. Marinade overnight for optimum flavour!
6. Spanish Roast Chicken, from Jamie Oliver: Chicken and chorizo are a match made in heaven, and this Spanish twist on a roast chicken would make the perfect Sunday lunch for the whole family to enjoy.

So landlords attack tenants for not paying rent, when in fact the reason is they moved banks and the tenant in question is a surgeon who had the presence of mind to put the rent aside.
The gardaí were only interested in asking if rent was owed and completely disregarded the attack with, what we can all agree is a deadly weapon. Yeah, that’ll encourage medical professionals to stay in Ireland alright. Of course no arrests and nobody held accountable. Great little country.
Tenner bets the aul fella changed from Ulster Bank or KBC or whatever, forgot to tell his tenants and then decided it was the tenant’s fault when he couldn’t get the rent!
The Gardai are thinly veiled revenue protection for landlords!
It’s well known that attacking someone with a motorised saw is a civil matter….
In cloud cuckoo land.
It’s not a civil matter when someone tries to physically attack you, irrespective of the payment or not. Solicitors give clients many reasons to do or not do things, in the end the decision to act or not is the person involved. Lastly, racial abuse should not be tolerated whether from the landlord or the Gardai!
It’s mad how much Fine Gael and Fine Fail wanted to cry over a photoshopped painting last week and have no comment on this very terrifying situation. I imagine FF/FG spin doctors are working overtime in HQ tonight trying to frame this on Mary Lou somehow.
@Pat Barry: You must have only skimmed the article. The landlord switched bank accounts and didn’t inform the tenant of the new details, so of course when the tenant tried to pay, his payment bounced back and the landlord didn’t answer the phone. Couldn’t be any more cut and dry that the tenant has done nothing wrong.
Impressive show from our law enforcement agency
The rulebooks in this country need to be updated! Non stop drama with properties. Between prices, supply, tax and mortgage rules.. The lot of it stinks, and must be normalised.
Ballinasloe Circular Saw Massacre.
What a scuumbag landlord. What a useless response by the cops.
That sort of thing happens all the time here in Ireland. The Gardai have no interest. The jails would be full if everytime someone was attacked with a chainsaw they arrested the assailant. I’m somewhat surprised to see this story hitting the headlines. There must be an ulterior motive.
With the judges of this country, Garda has no point existing, they would release a mass murderers after a slap on the wrist.
@Yvon Queguiner: They let a guy in wanted buy interpol for 2 seriously offences, no problem!
@Pat Barry: Id i ot
There are some awful thick people in this country.
@Sylvia Power: Yadda, yadda, yadda.
@Pat Barry: go on away back to bed with yourself…
