This recipe from Annie Mae Herring (@theculinarybee) uses Sutton Hoo Chicken thighs, the marinade can be prepared the day before

This year we really wanted to take the stress out of cooking on Christmas Day and we are really excited by this amazing festive feast we have created for you all, including recipes for all the sides, and there is a time plan included so the stressful part has been done for you!

This recipe is a proper winter dish that lets good farming and good butchery shine, using simple ingredients treated with care. Perfect for a Sunday table or a cold evening when you want something comforting but still refined.

In this recipe, chicken necks are slow-braised until the meat slips effortlessly from the bone, then folded into a silky roux and shaped into crisp, golden croquettes. Served with fragrant thyme-infused aioli, they make a standout starter or a brilliant addition to a tapas-style spread.

Chicken hearts are one of the most underrated cuts, full of gentle sweetness, depth and a beautiful blush when cooked with care. Here, they’re slowly braised in red wine, sherry and herbs until meltingly tender, then served over soft, buttery polenta with a bright, herb-packed salsa verde to lift every bite.

In this recipe, chicken livers are dusted in warming spices, seared until just blushing inside, and finished in a rich, glossy sauce sharpened with mustard and Worcestershire. Piled onto hot buttered sourdough, it’s the kind of simple, fiery comfort that turns a handful of livers into something unforgettable.

A beautifully old-fashioned dish: a whole deboned chicken stuffed with a rich mixture of sautéed livers, hearts, herbs and breadcrumbs, roasted until golden and served with a deep, homemade gravy made from the chicken bones and pan juices.

Crispy Sutton Hoo chicken thighs meet a silky cavolo nero and basil sauce, stirred through Bold’s creamy cannellini beans for a bowl that’s equal parts comfort and colour.
