Place the poussin (or chicken) on a backing tray and pour over half the mixture. Make sure to rub the mixture all over, ensuring it is evenly coated. Once your confident, season with salt and pepper and 'bang it' in the over for 1hour and 10 minutes. (keep sure to keep basing it every 20 minutes!)

Next, heat the Garlic oil in a large pan or skillet and 'chuck' in your potatoes. Once they all look 'nice and browned' throw in your stock and simmer for 15 minutes (until the stock is absorbed). Before your tempted to take them out, add the paprika, chopped parsley, salt, pepper and toss them in the pan, ensuring a nice even coating. "Prego!"
  • STEP 4
    For the bean salad, bring a pan of well-salted water to the boil. Add the beans and boil rapidly for 5 minutes until just tender. Meanwhile, whisk together the mustard and vinegar and then gradually whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and pour over the beans in a nice serving bowl.
  • STEP 5
    15 minutes before the poultry is cooked pour over the rest of the mixture and let it do its magic! Voila! Serve the poussin on a nice platter, with all the sides, add some aioli and warm rustic bread! Cheers!
