This easy chicken and salad is perfect for relaxed weekend entertaining for family or friends. Just add some crisp roast potatoes.

For an extra tender result, marinate the chicken overnight.

Ingredients

Method

1

Combine yoghurt, anchovy, garlic, paprika and dill in a large non-reactive bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Stand to marinate (20 minutes).

2

Heat a lightly greased char-grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season. Place chicken on barbecue, skin-side up, and char-grill for 30 minutes. Turn chicken, place onion wedges around chicken and char-grill until chicken and onions are charred and tender and chicken juices run clear when thigh is pierced with a skewer (10-15 minutes). Transfer chicken to a plate and rest loosely covered with aluminium foil (15 minutes).

3

Meanwhile, for fennel and walnut salad, thinly slice fennel on a mandolin and place in a bowl of iced water to crisp. Combine olive oil, mustard, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl, season and whisk to combine. Drain fennel and pat dry with a clean tea towel. Add fennel, reserved fronds, olives, walnuts and herbs to dressing, toss to coat and season to taste.

4

Transfer chicken to a chopping board and joint into 8 pieces. Arrange on a serving platter with charred onion. Drizzle with pan juices and scatter with extra dill and serve with fennel and walnut salad on the side.
