About the recipe

This is nothing to do with the Duke of Hamilton. It’s a scrumptious recipe that my handsome art director Johnny Boy Hamilton cooks for his lovely wife. Lucky woman. There is something quite cute about the individual chicken thing, and cooking the potatoes in the cavities seems to make them taste even better.
