Step 1

To make the lemon and herb chicken, mix the lemon juice and zest, garlic, honey, chilli, sea salt, olive oil, crushed peppercorns, rosemary and thyme together in a bowl. Add the chicken chunks and stir to allow the mixture to coat the chicken. Cover and leave to marinate for 1 hour.

Step 2

If you are cooking the chicken on the barbecue, heat the barbecue to have it ready in time.

Step 3

To make the potatoes, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas

Step 4

Spoon the vegetable oil into a baking tray large enough to fit the potato slices in a single layer and put this in the oven to get hot.

Step 5

Place the potatoes in a pan and just cover with water. Add the salt and place over a high heat. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes in a colander, then suspend the colander in the potato pan and cover with a clean tea towel for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes have steamed off and dried out a bit. Then, give the potatoes a toss in the colander so that they break down a little on the sides.

Step 7

Remove the hot baking tray from the oven and tip in the tatties. Give them a stir to coat them in the oil, then roast for 30 minutes, until part-cooked.

Step 8

In that time, mix the lemon juice, chicken stock, oregano, semolina and garlic in a small bowl.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and turn the heat up to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.

Step 10

Pour the lemony liquid over the potatoes and give them a mix, then return them to the oven for a further 30 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

Step 11

To make the feta dressing, put the feta, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a mini-processor if you have one. Otherwise, put them in a small bowl and use a whisk. Blend or whisk until almost smooth. Trickle in the olive oil, mixing continuously, until you have a creamy, thick dressing that's ready for anything! You may not need all the oil.

Step 12

To finish the chicken, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers and cook either on a barbecue or in a hot griddle pan. Cook for 8–10 minutes, until golden-brown and cooked through, brushing with honey occasionally

Step 13

To serve, divide the rocket among four serving plates, add the feta dressing, potatoes and skewers. Finish with a pinch of chilli flakes, crumbled feta (if using) and a drizzle of honey. Serve.
