Method

Season well and heat through before serving with the chicken.

Brown the chicken in a non-stick frying pan and reserve the juices.

Fry the leeks and onion, then add the thyme and single cream.

Heat the reserved chicken juices and butter in a pan.

Place the chicken in the pan and roast in the oven for 90 minutes while basting.

Add the stock, wine, and rosemary, then season with salt and pepper.

Stir in the plums, berries, and spices, then add honey and orange juice.

Cook the butter, onion, and raisins in an ovenproof saucepan until softened.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
