One-pots are wonderfully simple to make, but needn't feel basic – this recipe is special enough for hosting or as an alternative to Sunday roast. Sweet and sour, sticky and unctuous, the combination of red grapes, garlic, white wine vinegar and aromatic herbs is a real winner.

Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Liberally season the chicken. Heat the oil in a casserole pan over a medium heat, then brown the chicken all over for 10 mins or until deep golden.
Push the chicken to one side of the pan, then add the shallots, garlic and the grapes. Stir in the vinegar and 2 tbsp water, then arrange everything in an even layer with the chicken, skin-side up, on the top.
Transfer to the oven for 40 mins or until the chicken is crisp and cooked through and the grapes are bursting and juicy. Scatter over the tarragon leaves, then serve with a green salad and some crusty bread, if you like.
