Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4). Put the lemon halves inside the chicken. Place the chicken in a large flameproof casserole dish.
Place the onions around the bird, along with the thyme, wine, crumbled stock cube, vinegar, sugar, butter and seasoning.
Place the dish over a low heat and bring to a simmer. Once the liquid starts to bubble place the lid on top and pop into the oven for 1 hr.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and thyme stalks from the pan.
Gently cook down the onions and stock for 10 mins on the hob or until it forms a gravy-like consistency.
Mix the cornflour and water together in a cup to form a smooth paste. Stir the paste into the simmering mixture, stirring all the time and the juices will thicken nicely.
Serve the chicken whole or jointed on a large plate with the onion stew alongside.
Top Tip for making Phil Vickery's pot-roast chicken
Phil says: 'Pot roasting means part roasting and part braising - the meat is slowly cooked in a covered dish. I like to roast chicken with a little wine and plenty of big flavours such as lemon and thyme.'
