Ingredients
- 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
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°C.
- 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 200°C 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.
