  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon

  3. Place your choice of vegetables along with onions and garlic into the middle of a large roasting tray with some olive oil. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the bird.

  4. Brush both sides of chicken with oil. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. Place, breast-side up, onto roasting pan in middle of vegetables.

  6. Serve with roast vegetables.
