All of my youtube videos in one place. Aren’t you lucky!?

I do love a one pot wonder on this channel. They are super easy to throw together, they taste great and it saves on washing up (which I loooooathe doing). My one pot chicken and rice makes a great mid week dinner for when you are in a rush or just can't be arsed. You can also mix up the herbs you use, but just be mindful of what you choose as some herbs can be stronger and more over powering than others.

To make my one pot chicken and rice you will need:

For the marinade

• 4 chicken legs

• 1 tsp hot paprika

• 1 tsp sweet paprika

• 1 tsp of garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion granules

• A little olive oil

• Salt & pepper

For the green herb sauce

• A good handful of fresh parsley

• A small bunch of fresh chives

• 2 small sprigs of fresh rosemary

• 2 sprigs of fresh oregano

• About 8 sprigs of fresh thyme

• 3-4 big sage leaves

• 3 big garlic cloves

• Juice of half a lemon

• About 4 tbsp of olive oil (add more if needed)

For the rice

• 350g of basmati rice

• 2 shallots

• 750ml of chicken stock

• The juice from the other half of the lemon

• 2-3 tsp of the green sauce, plus 2 tsp towards the end of cooking

• Salt & pepper if needed

Everyone loves a good traybake for the simple reason that they are easy to make as everything can be slung into one tray and whacked in the oven. This tarragon chicken traybake is so easy to put together even a toddler could do it. You just throw everything on a tray pretty much and pop it in the oven. It's also cheap as chips, just a few chicken legs, some stock, potatoes, tomatoes and a few other bits and you'll have a cracking dinner. Serve up with some steamed veg on the side, or just like I did with some bread and butter.

To make my tarragon chicken traybake you will need:

• 3 large chicken legs

• 450g of new potatoes

• 400g of small cherry tomatoes

• 300-400ml of chicken stock

• 1 mini bottle of white wine (About 187ml)

• Juice of half a lemon

• 1 + 1/2 tsp of dried tarragon or fresh equivalent

• A little olive oil

• Salt & pepper

If you love garlic like me, then you are going to really enjoy this one. It's my adaptation of Olia Hercules garlic rabbit. I used chicken thighs instead of rabbit because firstly they are cheaper, but also much more accessible for you guys. Be warned though, this is for serious garlic lovers only!

To make this creamy garlic chicken you will need:

Feeds 4 with a side

• 1 kg skinless chicken thighs

• 300ml chicken stock

• 250ml sour cream

• 10 garlic cloves

• Salt & pepper

• About 2 tbsp of oil for cooking

Serve with rice or pasta and I bet this would be ace on top of a jacket spud!

Butter beans are pretty flavourless on their own but they do offer amazing versatility, and can be used as replacement carb in your meals. Plus they keep for ages in the cupboard and are cheap as chips. So you can keep them on hand for when money is tight and make something tasty with them. You get a 2 for 1 recipe here too, because I also made some quick and easy marinated chicken thighs to go with it. Enjoy!

To make my butter bean stew with crispy chicken thighs you will need:

Feeds 3 adults

For the marinated chicken thighs

• 6 big chicken thighs with the skin on

• 1 tsp of black pepper

• 3 tsp paprika (smoked or unsmoked)

• 2 tsp garlic granules

• 2 tsp onion salt (if using just onion granules add 1/2 tsp of salt)

• 1/2 tsp of chilli flakes

• 1/2 tsp of MSG (optional)

• About 4 tbsp of oil (olive, rapeseed or just plain veg oil will do)

For the butter bean stew

• 2 x 400g cans of butter beans in water

• 2 chicken stock cubes

• 2 cloves of garlic

• About 1 tbsp of chopped tarragon

• 1 small onion

• 150-200ml of double cream

• Juice of 1 lemon (Add the zest as well if you want a more lemony flavour)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• A little oil for cooking

I think you'd be hard pushed to find an easier dinner than a good old tray bake. Short of getting a takeaway, this has to be one of the easiest meals you can make for your family. With my lemon chicken tray bake you just chuck all the ingredients onto an oven tray, mix it all up and bang it in the oven. less washing up, no stress and it tastes super!

To make my oven baked lemon chicken tray bake you will need:

Feeds 4-5 with sides

• 800g of new potatoes

• 5 chicken legs

• 2 lemons

• 1 large brown onion

• 6-8 garlic cloves

• 3 bay leaves

• 2 tbsp of tarragon

• 2 tbsp of dijon mustard

• 3-4 tbsp of olive oil

• Salt & pepper

Serve with some extra veg or a simple dressed salad

A simple roast chicken is something I think every cook should learn how to do properly. If you can rustle up a winning chicken dinner, then you'll get brownie points from whoever you are serving it to, I promise you that. So in this episode of 'no one has any money because we are being shafted from all angles by profiteering nob head ball bags' I am going to show how to turn a cheap old bird into something pretty special!

To make my simple roast chicken you will need:

• 1 small or medium whole chicken

• 1 large brown onion

• 2 large sticks of celery

• About 4 large carrots

• 2 bay leaves

• A small bouquet of herbs (I used thyme, rosemary and sage)

• 1 lemon

• 1 bulb of garlic

• Olive oil

• Salt & pepper

If making the gravy

• About 2tbsp of plain flour

• About 750ml of chicken stock

• 1 tbsp of oil or butter

Chicken wings are the best bit of the chicken in my opinion. In fact it's pretty selfish of chickens to have such small wings when they taste so delicious! Today I am showing you how to turn those little flighty poultry flappers into some amazing soy, garlic and honey chicken wings. They are super savoury, sticky and just bloody lovely innit.

Best of all, they are cheap as chips. you can get a 1kg pack of chicken wings for around £2.20-£2.60 depending where you shop. And with the quantities used for this recipe, these wings will come in at around £3 all in, So a great cheap number for a weekend BBQ.

To make my soy garlic honey chicken wings you will need:

• 1kg of chicken wings

• 2 tbsp of smoked paprika

• 2 tsp of ground black pepper

• 2 tsp of salt

• 1/2 tsp of MSG (optional)

• 1-2 tbsp of hot sauce (TASTE IT FIRST!)

• A small dash of a neutral oil

For the soy, garlic & honey sauce

• 3 cloves of garlic

• 3 tbsp of honey

• 3 tbsp of dark soy sauce

• About 2 tsp of vinegar, any sort will do (lemon juice will work too)

• 1/2 tbsp of a neutral oil like sunflower or vegetable

• garnish with toasted sesame seeds and diced spring onions (optional)
