Pot roast chicken recipe please...........

[chadspad]

I made a pot roast chicken the other day instead of the standard roast. I had white wine, peppers & olives in and was succulent and delicious. I want to try it again but with red wine this time - have searched for recipes but not found anything right. Has anyone got a tried and tested recipe please? Perhaps I could do onions and worcester sauce too?

We like stoved chicken.

Ingredients:
2oz butter
1 chicken, jointed into eight pieces
2lb old potatoes
2 large onions (sliced)
1pt chicken stock
Good glug of wine, Worcestershire sauce, ale or whatever takes your fancy
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt & pepper



Method:
Melt half the butter in a large pan, then brown the chicken pieces before setting them to one side.

Scrub the potatoes and slice about 1/4 inch thick, Line the bottom of the pan with them. Season the potatoes, then add a layer of onion slices, then the chicken pieces, then more onion slices and top with potato. Fill any gaps with potato as well.

Pour the stock and wine/sauce/ale over the ingredients, season and dot the top with small knobs of butter.

Bring the pan to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for two hours or so. If it starts to dry out, add another glug of wine/sauce/ale or water.

Serve the chicken and potatoes, then stir the parsley into the remaining sauce and pour over the chicken and potatoes.

It serves four with no more accompaniment than fresh bread, or eight with additional vegetables and bread.

You can also add slices of white pudding (mealie pudding) or shredded spinach, or even poach a few eggs in the sauce after you've remove the chicken and potatoes.
