  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then rub with a little olive oil.
  • Place in a roasting tray and roast for 1½ hours or until cooked, adding the bread after 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Once your chicken has cooled slightly, tear the meat into long pieces with your hands or a couple of forks, and set aside.
