Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
Put the chicken, carrots, onions and garlic cloves (still in their skins) into a large roasting tin. Drizzle with the oil, rub it over the meat and vegetables then scatter with the bacon. Season then roast for 30 minutes, until the chicken and vegetables are turning golden.
Dissolve the tomato puree in the hot chicken stock then stir in the wine. Pour the liquid around the chicken and return to the oven for 30 minutes until rich and saucy.
Nestle the mushrooms in the sauce around the chicken, drizzle with a little oil, then roast again for 15 minutes until everything is golden. Season to taste, then scatter with the parsley to serve. Serve with mash.
