Instructions

1
Insert the wire rack into position 6 and place the baking tray on the rack. Set the oven to Roast, Super Convection, 205°C, for 25 minutes, confirm Rotate Remind and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
Tip: The burst of heat from the hot tray crisps the chicken skin and stops it sticking to the tray.
2
Combine the salt, mustard, paprika and pepper. Drizzle the chicken with the lemon juice, spice mixture and oil, turn to coat between each addition.
3
Once preheated, place the chicken, skin side down, in the hot tray and cook for 25 minutes. When the Rotate Remind signals, rotate the tray and turn the chicken over and continue cooking. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
4
Cut the carrots and parsnips into 8cm long and 2cm wide wedges and place in a bowl. Cut the onion into 2cm wedges, leaving the core intact so they hold their shape. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half and add to the bowl. Add the oil, salt and season with pepper and toss.
5
The chicken should be cooked through when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, away from the bone, reads 74°C. If not, cook it a little longer.
6
Transfer the chicken to a dish, skin side up and keep warm. Drain off the excess fat from the tray. Add the vegetables to the tray and toss.
7
Place the vegetables in the oven. Adjust the time to 20 minutes and press Start. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
8
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 1 minute or until lightly browned. Add the rosemary, lemon zest and juice and salt, stir and immediately remove from the heat. Heating the oil brings out the flavours and infuses the dressing.
9
Pierce the vegetables with a knife, the knife should easily slide in without any resistance. If not, cook a little longer.
10
Place the chicken, skin side up, on top of the vegetables, and pour any juice from the chicken over the vegetables. Move the wire rack to position 4.
11
Adjust the oven to Grill, High, for 2 minutes and press Start to grill.
12
The chicken should be browned and crisp. If not, grill for a few more minutes.
13
Serve drizzled with the dressing.
