Roast chicken sides ...

[mumnet87]

What would you put with a roast chicken on a Sunday that's not a roast dinner (too hot) or a salad? (Too cold!)

Garlic bread?

Spicy rice, corn on cob, pitta bread, some salad and coleslaw. A bit like a Nando's fakeaway

Rice ... hot
Big Greek salad ... cold
Bread ... warm

Roasted veg, roasted baby tomatoes and green beans, new potatoes. I like the Nandos idea. Or Mexican themed.

Couscous with chickpeas, a warm potato salad with salsa verde, butter beans whisked with olive oil, garlic and rosemary, roasted veg, salad a la grecque, courgette frittas, that kind of thing.

Wild rice, tender stem broccoli and corn on the cob

Chips and mayonnaise 🍗

Make pasta Alfredo with the chicken 🍗

Chicken stir fry with noodles, or sweet and sour with rice 🍗

Chicken Caesar salad as a standby if the weather is hot 🍗

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, warm bread, and then salad and extras.

Roast chicken, cubed roast potatoes (herbs and garlic), pineapple salsa.
your welcome

Spatchcock it and roast it on top of vegetables (courgettes, peppers, aubergine sort of stuff, maybe sweet potato).

Asparagus and buttered, simply boiled new potatoes.

Perhaps a first course

Apologies…

Perhaps a first course of a vegetable soup or souffle, for similar while the chicken is resting. I have found that the cheffy advice for a long rest does make it juicier

That or a green salad afterwards

Turkish rice or bulger wheat salad..

Joint the chicken (or buy legs) and make paella 🍗

Our standard is nice baguette with butter and a roasted veg of some variety. I’ve been doing asparagus lately as it’s in season. Both the baguette and veg served room temperature. Really simple and easy and a well seasoned and rested chicken can be the star of the show still.

Green salad, coleslaw, corn on the cob and if the teens are around shoestring fries

Pesto pasta, hot or cold, salad or veg, garlic bread if kids have been doing sport!

Roasted Mediterranean veg and couscous.

Roast the chicken on Boulanger potatoes.

Roasted Mediterranean veg, dips, flatbreads

Roast chicken, new potatoes and salad

Potato salad, with an oil not mayo dressing, and asparagus.

I like to do roast chicken with rice. Sometimes a risotto, sometimes a sort of pilaf. Sit the chicken on the rice on a ig platter. Few greens on the side if you like.

That is one of my most favourite meals.

Grilled or steamed asparagus?
Couscous, quinoa or bulgar wheat with lots of fresh herbs, harissa and roasted Mediterranean veg tossed into it (red, yellow and orange peppers, aubergines, courgettes and shallots).
Garlic and herb bread could be good too.
