This is a perfect example of what I call “Friday night food”. At the end of the week, when you’re too tired to cook but still want something nice to kick off the weekend, make this.

You’re rewarded with moist, flavorful, crackly-skinned chicken and peas and leeks that are deeply flavored with vermouth and the savory chicken juices. It's perfect any time but, as I said, it can’t be beat when you’ve got that Friday feeling!

I have been making this recipe for years and it never fails. In the summer it's great with a green salad, and in the winter I serve it with mashed carrot and swede. It's funny how a lot of Nigella's recipes stand the test of time.
