I haven’t cooked this for quite some time, but in the colder months it is a great recipe and is one of my favourites. It is also a great recipe when you have guests over, as most of the cooking time is spent in the oven.
Leftovers are also great the next day with the chicken shredded up with pasta. Or it would make a great pie filling.
This Hairy Bikers recipe has got to be my favourite dinner party recipe. It tastes amazing, has wow factor and most importantly, is very easy to make with the oven doing most of the work for you. Which I think is important when you are entertaining. The point is to spend time with your family and/or friends, not to spend the whole time in the kitchen.
Even though we normally have a ‘cold’ Christmas lunch (due to the Perth summer heat at Christmas), I couldn’t resist making this for our family lunch this year. The pork just melts in your mouth, with the wonderful contrast of super crackly crackling. And the apple cider sauce is just beautiful with it.
