SLOW-ROASTED GARLIC & LEMON CHICKEN



Slow-Roasted Garlic & Lemon Chicken image

I cannot claim this recipe as my own. Its actually a Nigella Lawson recipe (thanks Lifestyle Channel in Australia!!!). It is a super easy and extremely tasty one-pot recipe. I make it summer and winter, but I can see why it is good for summer due to the lightness of the dish. Perfect with either the full contingency of roast veg or equally with a nice light salad, cold or warm.

Time 17m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 roasting chicken, cut into 10 pieces
1 head garlic, separated into unpeeled clove
2 lemons, unwaxed and cut into 8 pieces
fresh thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
150 ml white wine
black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC.
  • Put the chicken pieces into a roasting tin and add garlic cloves, lemon chunks and the thyme; just roughly pull the leaves off the stalks, leaving some intact for strewing over later.
  • Add the oil and using your hands mix everything together, then spread the mixture out, making sure all the chicken pieces are skin side up.
  • Sprinkle over the white wine and grind on some pepper, then cover tightly with foil and put in the oven to cook, at flavour-intensifying low heat, for 2 hours.
  • Remove the foil from the roasting tin, and turn up the oven to 200ºC and cook the uncovered chicken for another 30-45 minutes, by which time the skin on the meat will have turned golden brown and the lemons will have begun to scorch and caramelise at the edges.
  • Serve straight from the roasting tin to plate.
