This week, Jane Milton talks to the founder of Manilife Stu McDonald about setting up a peanut butter business in the UK after a trip to Argentina. He tells us about his mentors and role models, what he wishes he knew at the beginning and shares a few favourite ways with peanut butter. Here’s the recipe for his perfect roast chicken ( with peanut butter of course) that he refers to in the chat.

Stu's Perfect Roast Chicken

Make a paste from:

• Manilife deep roast smooth Peanut butter
• Tamari paste 
• Garlic grated
• Ginger grated 
• Red chillies
• Lime zest + juice

(This has been passed down by word of mouth - there are no correct measurements so get creative )

Mix until thick and creamy

Carefully get under the skin of the chicken with your hand or a spoon to loosen it and make a pocket between the chicken and the skin. Spread the paste onto the chicken under the skin.

Follow normal chicken roasting instructions, according to weight.

Serve with chopped coriander to garnish and another squeeze of lime juice

Stu says 'I love serving with sweet potato chunks, rocket and pomegranate (but I’m weirdly into all those)'
