Method for Vietnamese-Style Roast Chicken Salad
Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees C/430 degrees F.
Place the chicken on a roasting dish and rub the olive oil all over the skin, then season well with salt & pepper. Put the lemon in a microwave for 30 seconds and then place it inside the chicken cavity.
Turn the oven down to 200 degrees C/390 degrees F and roast the chicken for around 1 hour 20 minutes.
Meanwhile combine the cabbage, carrot, radishes, spring onions, peppers, herbs and chilli. Drizzle over the Vietnamese-style dressing.
Toast the peanuts in a pan for 2 minutes or until slightly browned and fragrant. Then roughly chop them.
To assemble the salad, shred the chicken and place it on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle over the peanuts and drizzle over the honey.
