Equipment

  • 1 Oven

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 5 bay leaves
  • 1 lemon cut into quarters
  • salt and pepper
  • thyme
  • parsley
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 500 g Chicken

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F / gas mark 6. Remove any excess fat from the cavity of the chicken with a spoon and pat dry with paper towel.
  • Place the chicken breast side down onto a clean work surface. Using a sharp knife, make 2 incisions along each leg joint. Do the same thing on both sides.
  • Using the kitchen twine, tie up the legs so they stay together during cooking.
  • Put the chicken into a large roasting tin (this will help ensure even cooking). Add the garlic, bay leaves, lemon wedges, salt, pepper, thyme, parsley, and olive oil.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the foil cover and continue baking for another 15 – 20 minutes until the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer.
  • Serve immediately upon removing from the oven.
