INGREDIENTS

1 large onion or 2 small onions
125ml olive oil (not extra virgin)
2 teaspoons English mustard
1 tablespoon dried sage
ground pepper
1 lemon
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2kg chicken, jointed into 10 pieces
12 sausages
2 tablespoons chopped sage leaves
Serving Size : Serves 6
METHOD

1.Peel and cut the onion into eighths, and put into a freezer bag with the oil, mustard, dried sage, a good grinding of pepper, the lemon juice, the squeezed-out husks cut into eighths, and the Worcestershire sauce. Squidge everything around to mix (the mustard needs help to combine) and then add the chicken pieces. Leave to marinate in the fridge overnight, or for up to two days.
2.Preheat the oven to gas mark 7/220°C. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature in its marinade.
3.Arrange the chicken pieces in a roasting tin, skin-side up, with the marinade, including all the bits and pieces, and tuck the sausages around them. Sprinkle the fresh sage leaves over the chicken and sausages and then put the tin into the oven to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the sausages over halfway through to colour them evenly.
4.Arrange the chicken and sausages on a large platter.
ADDITIONAL INFO

You can easily substitute the jointed chicken with 10 thigh pieces, bone in and skin on.

This is an easy and tasty dinner. I marinate this on the weekend to bake during the week when I am too busy to cook a proper dinner. It is a life saver!!

This is one of my favourites, I usually increase the amount of onion and reduce the sausage.

This is a fantastic recipe, I make it again and again for dinner parties and people are always scraping the bottom of the dish for the last little bits......I have even made a variation with oranges when I didn't have lemons.....make this, you won't regret it and it's so easy :)

This is so easy and delicious, you really can't mess this up. The first time I made this my husband took one bite and then proclaimed "This is the best chicken you have ever made." And I must concur, it was!

Delicious, easy and already a favourite with friends and family. An sensual combination of flavours and textures.

This is the only dinner my friend Paul didn't complain about. And that's saying something!

The only problem I have with this recipe is that it supposed to serve 6 yet anytime i've cooked this the 2 of us keep going back for seconds until it's all gone. It's really great taste great is quick and cheap. Thanks Nigella for another great recipe.
