Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the oil with the curry powder, and rub this all over the chicken. Transfer to a roasting tin and cook for 1 hr 30 mins. To check if the chicken is cooked, insert a skewer between the thigh and the breast - the juices should run clear. Remove and allow to rest for 20 mins, loosely covered with foil.
  2. Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crisp in a dry, non-stick pan. Remove and leave to cool slightly. Pulse the peas separately to a rough purée in a blender, or using a hand blender.
  3. Mix the peas together with bacon, shallot, marjoram, chives, the splash of olive oil, a sprinkle of ground ginger, and season with salt. Serve alongside the chicken.

    Fairly unremarkable and we could not detect any curry flavour in the finished roast chicke. would not bother doing again.
