Where does this roast chicken mix come from?
The story behind the legendary Sunday roast:
Did you know that roast chicken is the French nation’s favourite dish?
The story behind this traditional dish dates back as far as King Henri IV. Legend has it that after a day’s hunting, King Henri IV returned home starving and requested that a chicken be cooked immediately. When he tasted it he declared “It is my desire that every labourer in my realm should be able to put a fowl in the pot on Sundays”. Over time, this poule au pot was directly grilled on the fireplace which is what later became our beloved roast chicken.
In the 19th century, Napoleon’s cooks always had several chickens roasting in the ovens to ensure that there would always be one ready for the Emperor should he so desire. Today, roast chicken is a traditional homely dish, but which is also served in gastronomic restaurants in Paris.
