Method
- Heat the oven to 200C. Pat the chicken dry, rub with a third of the oil, and season generously.
- Cut the potatoes and pumpkin into large chunks and the onions into wedges.
- Toss the vegetables with the remaining oil and thyme and spread in a large roasting tin. Sit the chicken on top.
- Roast for 75-85 minutes, turning the vegetables once, until the juices from the thigh run clear.
- Rest the chicken for 10 minutes before carving, and return the vegetables to the oven if they need more colour.
