1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
Sea salt
Pinch of ground pepper
1 teaspoon pimento paste

Using a sharp, heavy knife, cut the chicken between breast halves. The chicken will be in 2, flat pieces.

In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and pimento paste, then rub over the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a rack, then pour 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 cup wine over the chicken. Roast 30 minutes; turn the chicken over and pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 cup wine over the chicken. Roast the chicken until golden, moist, and opaque throughout, about 30 minutes.
