  • Bring the mulled wine ingredients to a boil in a medium pan, then gently simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Heat your oven to 180°C (fan) or 200°C.
  • Pour the mulled wine into a roasting tray and add the chicken. Baste both sides of the chicken in the mulled wine and add the water.
  • Turn the chicken so the breast side is facing down and roast for 45 minutes.
  • When the time is up, take it out of the oven, turn it over then cook on the other side for a further 45 minutes. Add a bit of water if it looks like it’s drying out.
  • Check it is cooked through, cover with foil and leave to stand for about 15 minutes.
  • Serve sprinkled with parsley (optional).
