Casserole Roast Chicken with Tarragon — Poulet à l’Estragon

There are two kinds of tarragon, French and Russian, but we prefer to use French in this recipe, because it has a better flavour.

Unfortunately, French tarragon is more difficult to come by because it is propagated by root cuttings, you can’t just grow it from seed like the Russian tarragon. French tarragon grows to a height of about 23cm (9inch), whereas the Russian will grow to about 1.25m (4ft) in the summer.
