Nduja Spatchcock Chicken Traybake

Golden, spicy Nduja-spiced chicken roasted on a tray of baby potatoes, fennel, peppers, and olives, finished with fresh gremolata, parsley, and a handful of peppery rocket. Served with creamy garlic aioli, it’s a vibrant, flavour-packed weeknight or weekend feast that’s simple to prepare but full of wow factor.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole spatchcock chicken approx. 1.5kg
  • 1 tbsp Nduja paste
  • 1.25 kg baby potatoes halved
  • 1 fennel bulb sliced
  • 3 peppers sliced
  • 150 g pitted olives black or green
  • Olive oil salt, and pepper
  • Fresh gremolata lemon zest + parsley + garlic
  • Handful of fresh rocket leaves to serve
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Dunnes Stores garlic aioli to serve

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F.
  • Rub the chicken all over with the Nduja paste.
  • Toss the baby potatoes, fennel, peppers, and olives with olive oil, salt, and pepper; arrange in a single layer on a large roasting tray.
  • Place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Roast for 50–55 minutes until cooked through and golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then carve.
  • Serve the chicken with the tray-roasted vegetables and olives, sprinkle with gremolata and fresh parsley, and drizzle or serve alongside Dunnes Stores garlic aioli.
  • Scatter fresh rocket over the top just before serving for a vibrant, peppery finish.
