  • 1 whole chicken
  • 100 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 1 bunch of thyme, leaves picked off
  • 1 bunch of parsley, leaves picked off
  • 500 ml of chicken stock

  • 2 lemons

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/ gas 3. Brown the chicken all over in an oven proof dish that can hold the chicken and has a lid.

  2. Step 2

    Once the chicken is browned all over, place the garlic, thyme and parsley stalks around the chicken. Add the stock, 2 tbsp olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Pop the lid on the pan and roast in the oven for an hour. Turn the oven temperature up to 220°C/200 fan/gas 7.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the lid from your dish, then return it to the oven for 20 mins to crisp up the skin.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon through the sauce and add some chopped parsley. Carve up and serve with some crusty bread and the remaining lemon wedges. Method
