Directions

    Wash chickens thoroughly inside and out, dab dry. Tie the ends of the legs together with kitchen string and place on a baking tray. Rub the chicken first with 1 tablespoon of oil, then with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 1 1/4 hours. If the upper side becomes too dark, cover with aluminium foil. Peel, wash and dice the potatoes.

  3. 3

    Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pan. Fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, turning frequently. Peel and chop the onion. Wash and clean the aubergine and courgette. Dice the aubergine.

  4. 4

    Halve the zucchini lengthwise and cut into slices. Clean, wash and slice the celery. Add vegetables to the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes. Drain the tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Coarsely chop the tomatoes, add to the vegetables and braise for about 5 minutes. Wash tarragon, dab dry, put something aside for garnishing. Finely chop the rest. Mix mustard, honey and tarragon. Take the chicken out of the oven and brush with the marinade.

  6. 6

    Cook in the oven at the same temperature for another 5-8 minutes. Season vegetables to taste again. Serve the chicken with the vegetables. Garnish with tarragon.
