This delicious recipe can be easily adapted to feed however many people you have around the table at this uncertain Christmas
This Christmas has proved impossible to plan, so here is a beautifully versatile recipe that can be adapted for however many of you there will be. Whether you choose a turkey, a cockerel, or a plump, free-range chicken, there is real theatre when you lift the lid at the table, letting the interweaving scents of lemon, sage and garlic waft up as the bird sits in the golden, caramelised, sherry-rich sauce. If you are fewer still, try some small partridges, rich in nutrients and undeniably festive, or even chicken thighs. Have a ball.
