Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
Pop the chunks onto one side of a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle over half the mixed herbs, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, trim the carrots (no need to peel) and parsnip. Cut into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons. Pop onto one side of a large baking tray.
Drizzle the root veg with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
Lay the chicken onto the other side of the baking tray, drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the remaining mixed herbs and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
Roast the chicken and root veg on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 27-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Turn the veg halfway through.
When the chicken has 10 mins remaining, pour the water for the jus (see pantry for amount) into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil on high heat.
Stir in the red wine jus paste, then reduce the heat to medium-high. Allow the sauce to thicken, stirring, 5-6 mins. TIP: If your red wine jus paste has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.
Once thickened, stir in the redcurrant jelly. Taste and season if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Remove from the heat and cover with a lid to keep warm.
When the potatoes have 5 mins left, add the peas to the other side of the baking tray. Return to the oven for the remaining roast time, until cooked through.
When the root veg has roasted, drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount).
Transfer the roasted chicken to your serving plates.
Serve the roasted potatoes, honey-roast veg and peas alongside.
Pour over the red wine jus to finish.
