Garlic Lemon Roast Chicken

Ingredients

For 4 servings

• 1.6 kg whole chicken
• 2 piece lemon, one juiced, one halved
• 6 clove garlic, smashed
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp oregano

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken completely dry — dry skin is crisp skin.

2. 2

   Rub all over with olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano. Stuff the cavity with the halved lemon and garlic.

3. 3

   Roast breast-up until the juices run clear at the thigh, basting once.

4. 4

   Rest 10 minutes, then squeeze the roasted lemon into the pan juices and carve.
