Pot-roast Chicken With Sides (grydestegt Kylling Med Persille)

To make the cucumber salad, using a mandoline or sharp knife, cut the cucumbers into thin ribbons and place in a bowl. Add the salt and combine well. Stand for 1 hour.
Place remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and stand until cool. Drain and squeeze out excess water from cucumber and place in a bowl. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the drained cucumber and stand until needed.
Preheat the oven to 170°C.
To make the rhubarb compote, place all the ingredients in a small roasting pan, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until just tender. Pour off any excess liquid, mash with a fork and set aside to cool.
Melt the butter in a heavy-based flameproof baking dish over medium–high heat. Cook the chicken pieces for 8–10 minutes, until golden on both sides. Add the parsley and stock and bring to the boil. Season lightly, then cover and bake for 30 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, to make the crushed potatoes, cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of unsalted boiling water for 25 minutes, or until tender. Drain and leave over the heat to steam for 1 minute, then crush potatoes with a fork. Add the butter and crush until a chunky consistency. Season with the sea salt.
When chicken is tender, remove from the pan. Add the cornflour paste to pan and simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Alternatively, simmer the juices until reduced and slightly thickened. Return chicken to pan and simmer until just heated through.
To make the lettuce salad, separate the inner leaves and soak in iced water for about 10 minutes, then drain. Whisk together the cream, lemon juice and icing sugar until well combined and slightly thickened. Pour dressing over lettuce leaves.
Serve the chicken with crushed potatoes, rhubarb compote, and cucumber and butter leaf salads. Alternatively, place all accompaniments in bowls and let everyone help themselves.
