Roast Chickens with Pistachio Salsa, Peppers, and Corn

This vibrant roast chicken dish offers a sophisticated twist on the traditional Sunday lunch. Part of our diabetes-friendly collection, it swaps heavy gravies for a bright, nutrient-rich pistachio salsa and a colourful sauté of peppers and fresh sweetcorn. The chickens are marinated in a fragrant blend of lemon, garlic, and woody herbs like rosemary and sage, ensuring the meat remains succulent and full of flavour while the skin achieves a perfect golden finish.

Ideal for entertaining or a wholesome family dinner, this recipe focuses on healthy fats and fresh produce. The crunch of the pistachios against the sweetness of the roasted peppers creates a wonderful contrast in textures. Serving this dish with plenty of seasonal vegetables makes it a balanced, heart-healthy option that doesn't compromise on taste. It is a brilliant example of how simple, fresh ingredients can be transformed into an impressive, low-glycaemic meal.

  • 60ml de jugo de limón fresco

  • 60ml de aceite de oliva

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced, mashed to a paste with the back of a knife

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves plus sprigs for stuffing

  • 2 cucharadas de romero fresco picado

  • 1 cucharada de salvia fresca picada

  • 2 2 1/2-1.4kg whole chickens

  • 2 cucharadas de sal kosher

  • Pimienta negra recién molida

  • 1 lemon, halved

  • 60ml de aceite de oliva

  • 120ml minced red onion

  • 40g minced capers plus 1-2 teaspoons caper brine

  • 1 cucharadita de hojuelas de pimiento rojo triturado

  • Sal kosher

  • 1200g thinly sliced yellow, orange, and red peppers (about 5 large peppers)

  • 4 red Fresno chillies, seeded, thinly sliced

  • 725ml fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears)

  • 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley

  • 2 cucharadas de vinagre de vino tinto

  • 240ml unsalted shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped

  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives

  • 2 cucharadas de ralladura de limón finamente rallada

  • 1 cucharadita de sal kosher

  • 240ml extra-virgin olive oil

Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, 3 tablespoons thyme, rosemary, and sage in a small bowl; set marinade aside.

Season chickens with salt and pepper inside and out. Place each inside a resealable plastic bag; divide marinade between bags. Spread marinade evenly to distribute. Seal bags and chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 232°C. Transfer chickens from bags to a small roasting pan; gently blot excess oil from marinade with paper towels, leaving herbs intact on chicken skin. Stuff each chicken with a lemon half and several thyme sprigs. Tie legs together with kitchen twine, if desired.

Roast until well browned, 30-35 minutes. Reduce heat to 177°C and continue roasting, occasionally basting chickens with pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 74°C, 20-30 minutes longer. Transfer chickens to a carving board; let rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, capers, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add peppers and chillies; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 10-12 minutes. Stir in caper brine, corn, parsley, and vinegar just before serving.

Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Stir in oil. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let come to room temperature before serving. Serve with chickens and peppers and corn.
